This past weekend was so packed and fun! We celebrated Princess Abigail's 1st Birthday on Saturday (pictures to come!) and Mothers Day on Sunday (also pictures to come soon!). I know, I like to keep everyone waiting. It's super fun. :)
FIRST, in honor of Mothers Day... i'm FINALLY doing a blog post in honor of the handsome boy who first made me a mother a little over 4 years ago. This counts as his 4th birthday blog post.. just 3 months late!
Here we are on our Mother's Day lunch date this year- such a little handsome thing!
MAXWELL LAWSON- I can't even put into words how much joy he brings us! We have loved every single stage, which sounds like I'm trying to make our lives sound perfect, but I'm not, its just the truth. We have definitely had it easy with him! Just like I said when he was a baby, and then at 1, 2 and 3 years old.. I think that THIS YEAR is my favorite with him so far! Watching him grow and learn and make friends makes my heart just burst. He is so inquisitive and full of life and also kind of sensitive.. he's just perfect :)
He loves:
- talking nonstop about everything in the world especially about how things work
- going to Tiny Tots Nursery School- he's very proud of himself!
-the beach (is it summer yet?!)
-discussing the shooters he will get on his 5 birthday
- watching The Factory Show (How It's Made)
- building and designing things
-picnics. all day every day.
- going to Nana and PopPops for the day while Mommy and Daddy go to work!
-helping Justin with any and all projects
- drawing maps
- riding his bike around the block
-outdoor adventures
- taking pictures
- sleepovers at Grammy and Grandpas
-Christian (his bff at Tiny Tots school!)
- going to Target with Mommy (he knows my heart)
-wrestling with Daddy
- discussing what he would like to buy at "Toys R Us, Toys R Babies"
-hunting deer outside with sticks
A look back... because this is how I process him growing up... :)
Hard to believe that this room was once empty and just waiting for him to arrive!
Last picture of non-Daddy Justin!
awwwwwwww
HAHA! Will always love this!
"So when's our first sleepover?"
"Lets go home... this seems pretty easy!"
"Hi Aunt Sarah! Let's go to Target!"
My first mothers day as a Mommy!
Baptisms are so FUN!
Everything is exciting with first child.. especially bath time
There was so much sleeping that first year.... oh the memories.. :)
BFFs Forever
First Christmas!
Max's first 52 weeks! Happy 1st Birthday!
Max's first Hunt Cup
"Food! Someone said there would be food!"
Always busy at Nana's house!
Then I got pregnant with Jackson and was sick and laid around a lot...
this was pretty much how Max felt about it!
This was a whole thing... laying on the ground with his taggy...
Yep
Grammy and Grandpa sleepovers- yaay! Fun for everyone, especially me and Justin! :)
The Mouse Trap phase
Last family outing as a family of 3... to the ER! Super exciting. Max cut his finger open with a can lid on Jackson's due date and we spent the evening in the pediatric ER getting stitches. Eek!
He practiced diapering Frog and then all he could do was wait....
"So this is what the fuss was all about?"
"Levers on the hospital bed! This IS fun!!"
Grammy will still give me lots of attention! <3
Happy 2nd Birthday!
Celebrity Sighting!
omg
4 Generations at The Hunt Cup
Day Trips with Daddy while Mommy snuggled the ridiculous new baby :)
"Who cares about the baby? There is still lots of work to be done!"
Summertime, and the livin is easy
Life is Good
Steppingstone Museum Fall Festival- This was when the hunting obsession began
Always Prepared
One of his ultimate fav things to do is help Pop Pop in the yard!
Be your own person.
Perfectly behaved at all time :)
Doing science. It's a big deal.
Summer Bonfire Selfie!
I'm just a boy, looking for deer in the backyard.
Happy 3rd Birthday to Max! (And 1st to Jackson!) We planned a big party and then it poured snow and so we partied with just us and Nana & Pop Pop :)
I know you are impressed.
Our family kept growing and all of a sudden Max was a big brother to TWO!
Summer 2015
We went to New Germany State Park for a week with the Harbin clan and Max was IN HEAVEN. He still talks about "Cabin 10" :)
In his element...free to roam!
Then on to Bethany Beach!
You can't get much happier than this!
Snacks. Always Snacks.
Big Brothers have a hard job!
He really wishes he could climb our trees and tries often...

Justin and Max started doing projects together at Lowe's this year.
Each month is a new project and Max is in heaven!!!
