happy birthday max!

everyone always said that the 1st year will fly by....well, it has! it has been one of the best years of our lives getting to know this little man. he is a really good kid, very flexible, and always on the move...he fits into our world perfectly!
cruising around at his party....max has been taking steps for about a month and everyday he surprises us by choosing to walk a little further. if he could stand up on his own without holding onto something, he would definitely choose to walk instead of crawl. his little steps are just so cute and i love holding his hand while he walks around!
the party started at the Haslet Fire Station. the firemen were really nice and just opened up the garage and let the kids run and climb all over the trucks.

the party guests (well, some of them)




my mom and i spent the afternoon on party-eve making and decorating the cake and cupcakes. luckily i took a pic of the cake that day bc during the craziness of the party i forgot to.

i thought max would cry when everyone sang "happy birthday" but he just sat there with this expression. he pretty much just picked at the cake, but he did enjoy some spoonfuls of blue bell homemade vanilla!



all the kiddos loved the present part, and the older kids were very helpful too! max got some awesome stuff.

we are so thankful to all of our friends and family that have supported us through this first year of parenthood and who helped us celebrate in a big way!
