SIX

Gosh, has another year gone by?

Max is SIX today.

I can hardly believe that he is so big! This little wonder has brightened my world in ways that I can't imagine. So, in honor of his SIXth birthday, I am going to post my SIX all-time favorite pictures of him!

1. His 6 months pictures. My brother gave him this wagon on his very first Christmas and we thought it would make the cutest prop. His smile is just priceless.



2. He loved these pajamas. One night we were just giggling and dancing after bathtime and he was so proud of himself. We called him "SuperMax" when he wore these.



3. This was the first time he held Cate. He didn't want to do it for the first week or so, but when he finally did, he was so tender and loving with her. We used this as our postage stamp for her birth announcements and I still have it framed!



4. This was taken at dinner out with family shortly after Cate's birthday party. He put on my brother's hat and I captured this face!




5. On Max's first trip to Walt Disney World, we rode Goofy's Barnstormer over and over and over again. I will never, for as long as I live, forget the excitement on his face or the sheer joy in his giggles. I am so glad that I was able to get a picture of it.


6. This past summer we went to what has become a new family tradition ever since moving to Texas, the July 4th parade. I love how this picture captured Max in the moment watching the parade!


So, Happy Birthday, my little SIX year old! I love that smile and you more than you know.

I LOVE #5... I have a few of those pictures, as well, and even though you can't capture that wonderful laugh in a picture, I can hear it!!
