Happy 1st Birthday Max

I can hardly believe our sweet little Max is already a year old!  You can read his birth story here.  It is truly amazing what a difference a year makes.

Max's birthday started with him still being sick.  He was whiny and clingy all morning and early afternoon.  After lunch he perked up a little.  We just hung out at the house with my mom and brother.  This was Scott's 1st day to meet his new students(he is now teaching 4th grade at Campus School) so he was at work.  We met some of our family(my mom and brother Daniel, my dad, Scott's dad, Aunt Jackie, and Jacob and Kayla) at Chili's for dinner.  Max was mostly smiles at dinner...he does love to eat.  After dinner we all went to Sweet Cece's for some frozen yogurt.  Scott and I go there often and thought that would be a good 1st sweet treat for Max.  He has not had anything with sugar(other than fruit that we are aware of) in it yet.  I got him the plain "tart" yogurt and put blueberries(his fav), and mochi(Japanese rice type thingy...that he also loves) on top.  He opened his mouht wide for his bite and then....REJECTION!! He would not eat it.  He wouldn't even eat a bite for Aunt Jackie...not even a blueberry.  He did eat the mochi once I sucked the frozen yogurt off of it.  Max opened a gift from mommy and daddy, Aunt Jackies presents, and a gift from Jacob and Kayla.  It was about this time he was starting to get fussy again.  You can tell from the pics it was time for motrin and time to go home.  He slept on the short drive home but got a second wind once we got there.  My mom decided to give him his present then.  She got him a vacuum cleaner.  He loved it!  As many of you may know Scott is a clean freak so Max knew what the vacuum was and started pushing it all over.  He finally started to act sleepy and went to sleep no problem...he even slept through the night!  Yea!

looks promising

shaking his head no no no


Even Scott looks thrilled
Max still acted a little sick on Thursday but was definitely doing much better!
