Max is officially walking- or should i say falling!!

Max started taking is first steps a couple of weeks ago but it wasn't until the past few days that he has really been taking off around the house. He also has had some of his worst falls but I love watching him and seeing his determination to get right back up in good spirits.

Max has officially turned the big 1! We celebrated with some of our neighbors and had a little pool party. The pool barely fit all three kids that were trying to stay alive inside. I let the water sit in the sun all morning so it would be warm enough to play in. But wouldn't you know, the first five minutes max was in there he threw up! Just a handful of milk curds were floating around as everyone got to the party and jumped in the water with him. But we didn't want to empty it out because it was going to be so cold if we re-filled it. So they all enjoyed a little bit of milky looking water for about an hour. Then chips and Twizzlers started making their own collection inside so we called it a quits.

For his birthday cake we let him dig into some chocolate pudding topped cake. He was a mess and we all loved it. We even let him rinse off in the yucky pool water before we dumped it.

Max got a a couple cards and some nice gifts that he has been playing with since we opened them. He got some new clothes as well with the gift money he received so thank you so much for thinking of him. I will post some pics of the b-day when I get them from luke.

Max's first few steps

Max has been so fun these past few weeks. He wants to be all over the place all the time. He definately wants to do want HE wants to do and lets me know. But at the same time he is really easy going and such a sport when I have to drag him around for work or running errands around town. His latest thrill is walking. He wants to walk all the time but is still learning how to do it. As evidence below.
