Happy Birthday Max!!

I have been a bit nostalgic today remembering Max's birth a year ago. I can't believe how much our life has changed with him in our lives. It seems as if he made us a couple with a child into a family- a real family. Max has been pretty easy from day one. His birth was amazing. I delivered him 100% natural- not even an IV. It was empowering and one of the best moments of my life. I truly came away from the experience in awe of the powerful bodies that our Heavenly Father gave us. He isn't feeling well and as I rocked him early this morning, thinking about his 2:49am delivery I had no bad feelings at all. I wasn't resentful for the labor as some women can be because it was wonderful and I had nothing except amazingly clear feelings of what a beautiful experience it was.

Max is a curious boy who loves to play. He more than anything wants to be right where his brother is. Turner and Max are best friends and love to play together. Nothing can make Max laugh like his big brother. He is curious and always into everything (like most 1 year olds.) He wants to walk everywhere and appreciates the hand. He has 6 teeth! He loves his sippy cup and likes his blanket. He is on cloud 9 just lying on his blanket suckn' on the sipps. His favorite foods are chicken nuggets, Mac and Cheese, veggies and fish. Anything where he can feed himself is much appreciated since he hates being fed. Max loves his dad and gets so excited when he walks in everyday. He was the master of the army crawl until very recently when he decided he wanted to crawl proper and now is on all fours. Max loves cars and playing cars with his brother. He pushes them around making a vroom vroom noise. In fact it doesn't even have to have wheels- the other day he pushed around a horse and did the same thing! We love you Moo Moo cachoo and can't wait for many more birthdays to come!
