Picture Day

Yesterday I took Max to get new pictures taken. The first 4 or 5 shots were fine, and then - out of the blue - he began to scream uncontrollably each time the photographer took a picture. I'm not sure if it was the flash, the sound of the camera or if Max has an early ability to detect bad people, and the photographer leads a double life. Whatever the case, we got some precious pics...including one of a "throw myself down and scream" tantrum. And personally - I think it's my favorite!

Max Turns One!

My baby turned one on Sunday! What a precious little boy. He is incredibly cute - people actually stop us in public and comment on his "cuteness". He's walking a little more every day. He toddles around taking about 4 or 5 steps at a time...a little more adventurous each time. He only has two teeth - just the bottom ones. My mother in law keeps reminding me that the longer it takes for them to come in - the longer it'll take for them to fall out! I guess that's good. He must have Blake's teeth. One of my favorite things about Max is the way he high-speed crawls toward his daddy when he comes home from work each evening. Once he hears Blake's voice, he kicks it in to high gear and gets those little legs moving superfast! So cute! Here are some pictures of Max enjoying his first piece of chocolate cake. Happy Birthday, Baby Max! I love you.
