Max's First Birthday!

Today Is Max's First Birthday! We had a small party for him while Bob's parents were out here last week.

Do you think he enjoyed his cake?? He went right into the tub.

We then tried to get him interested in opening his gift, but that was unsuccessful, so the older kids ripped it open for him.

We love our Max. He's such a blessing to us. My favorite time of the day with Max is when I go in to get him out of his bed in the morning. He's usually standing up in his crib, sucking his thumb, waiting patiently for me to come in. When I see him, his thumb comes out and his face lights up into a smile. Then he gets so excited that he falls over in his crib and just starts wiggling and giggling. Once he's done, he'll stand up again ready to get out of bed. I hope that excitement for life stays with him as he grows up!
