Baby Max Turns 1!

You've heard every other mom say it, but how crazy that our baby is already 1! It's so strange that he's been here one whole year already!

We wanted to theme Max's birthday around what he loves most, and ultimately decided upon the theme of "Mom." Mom was his first word, and continues to be his favorite to say, repeated all day long. He needs his momma to feed him every bottle, and gives her the best loves. Dave often says that Max only "tolerates" him.

Our one and only child that actually ate his smash cake!

At one year: 

Crawling and standing, says every member of our family's name; sleeps 12-13 hours stretches at night; is obsessed with women and grandmas; is scared to death of men; has several teeth; loves to eat big people food of every kind and hates baby food; smiles and laughs like nobody's business; runs the show and bosses older brother and sissy around; loves technology (remotes, phones, tv's, etc) and doesn't especially love baby toys; swims regularly in the toilet if someone neglects to shut the bathroom door; is not a homebody and needs to get out at least once a day; gets regular comments on his kissy lips and the way he puckers them and says "ooo"; has a great set of eye brows that he can pull a great stink eye with, and finally...is the best little caboose to our family that we could have asked for. He has always been an easy-going, loving little boy that rounds out our family perfectly.
