Happy 1st Birthday Maximus!


Happy Birthday to my beautiful, little boy! Wow, I can't believe a year has gone by. I am so grateful to have you in my life. You enrich my life and bring me joy every single day. I love your little smile and watching you grow and learn in this big, beautiful world. Here is a list of things you can do at one year of age:


  • walk and run

  • wave bye-bye
  • clap his hands
  • spin in a circle

  • throw a ball (you just did that for the first time last night)

  • sleep through the night

  • make noises as you push around your cars/trains

  • you love to look at books and to have them read to you

  • can open doors with handles (not knobs yet...)

  • love parks, especially the swings

  • get excited when you see someone you know

  • freak out when you see animals, specifically dogs. You get so excited you sometimes scare the dog.

  • get sad when daddy leaves for work in the morning

  • love other kids

  • sleep with about 5 binkies and your blankie

  • usually take 2 naps a day

  • love things with wheels, baths, singing and other children

  • are a really happy, lovable little boy!
