Max is two. I cant believe it! I feel like its a lie. This was just two years ago..
And this was just one year ago...
I am so thankful that I took weekly pics of Max during the first year.. and that we've taken hundreds more since then.. because as he gets older its harder to remember Baby Max!
This has been an eventful year for Max! Not only did he become a big brother right before his 2nd birthday, but he had an amazing summer with several trips to the beach, a great Christmas, and really mastered being a helper (whether its helping Daddy with tools and projects or helping to bake and cook in the kitchen). He is still a big big boy, just like the day he was born. He is a dare devil and loves to climb, jump, run and play.
We celebrated his birthday with just the grandparents and aunts/uncles since we knew we would be newly home with Jackson.
Before we partied, Jackson got to meet GG (Great-Grandmother)!
4 Generations :)
Me and my handsome bro
Jackson celebrated his brothers birthday by sleeping through the party
Good ol' Aunt Sarah got this for Max!
Ed was first to arrive so he got to hang out with Jackson for a bit
Pre-lunch snacking. Thats just how I roll.
Thank you to Grammy for cuddling with Jackson while the rest of us ate!
Our life
David had a cold the week Jackson was born so this was the first time Jackson met his Third-Pa :)
Max the Builder

We practice the Happy Birthday song a lot so Max knew what was coming! Love that sweet face :)
Happiness
He blew them out on the first try. Professional.
Aunt Meaghans turn!
The party had to stop for awhile after the first present- a new truck from uncle Garon!
Max got excited and did some laps...
Cards that play music are the BEST!
Trucks are serious business.
We LOVE the new clothes for summer- courtesy of Great Gran! I'm dreaming of days in the sunshine : )
Max got so many great gifts- he's been so busy!
Big boy underwear.. uh oh. My face says it all lol...
Max has never seen Lincoln Logs before but he could tell it was something he would love! And he does- Thanks Third-pa : )
Me and my baby
I know.. its too much! Be still my heart
Everyone wants to play
Cuteness overload- Max got an apron with his name on it for all of his work in the kitchen.
Me and my other baby : )
Serving cookies with Nana. While Mickey supervises.
As the party draws to a close, Jackson is still sleeping like a perfect little baby and the rest of us are exhausted haha. Thank you to everyone who came and made the afternoon so special for Max! He is so loved : )
After party relaxation: Max shows his gratitude to Jackson for not stealing the spotlight by showing him a teething toy.
