Happy Birthday Maxwell!!

August 30, 2011

One year ago today at 5:48pm I didn’t think life could get any better…but it has.

It is so hard to believe that this tiny, helpless baby…

has grown into this chubby cheeked, dimpled, curly headed, giggling baby boy…

Even though it seems impossible, each day is better than the last.

I can’t believe he’s mine. I can’t believe I’ve gotten to spend every day of the past year with him. I can’t believe he’s mine for all the years to come.

Happy first birthday Maxwell Banks Brown!!!

In honor of Maxwell’s birthday, I do have one small request. Would you be so kind as to leave a comment wishing my baby a Happy Birthday?

If you liked learning about how Maxwell got his name…

If you enjoyed hearing about our first big adventure…

If my smiley guy made you smile…

If my little monkey made you laugh…

If the Ho Ho Ho made you happy…

If our weekend adventures entertained you…

If you found any of the Friday Favorites useful…

If the cuteness ever made you smile…

If I totally fooled you…

If Robert made you laugh with his silly antics…

If I made you laugh with my “witty” commentary…

If Maxwell made you laugh with his funny games…

If you thought Maxwell was handsome in a polo…

If you followed all of our trips to the swings…

If you just enjoyed the photos…

If you love this sweet little boy…

…please leave a comment. You don’t have to say much – just “Happy Birthday!” or tell me your favorite post, picture or story. Or even just Hi, Hola or Hello. Whatever strikes your fancy.

I would love for Maxwell to someday know all of the people that followed his first year on The Brown Brick Road. A big thanks from me to you!

Now, I’m off to spend the day with my ONE YEAR OLD!!

Happy Birthday Maxwell!

It’s almost here…

August 29, 2011

What a weekend! Our little family birthday party simply could not have gone better. We loved having family in town to celebrate and Maxwell loved his cake!! I have so many fun party pictures to share but I have to make my way through the 100’s that I took yesterday!  wow!  Stay tuned for all the party goodness later this week.

I really can’t believe my sweet baby is going to turn 1 tomorrow. Hard to believe that I looked like this one year ago today…

Whoa. I had no idea what was in store for us but, man, it’s been better that I could have ever imagined. My funny, lovable little boy has just made life so good. So, so good.

Tommorrow, a birthday post. Today, some of me and my little guy dressed as twinkies…totally unintentional by the way. He started the day in another outfit but…things happen.  🙂

When I realized we were total twinkies, I had to get the camera out.

I could eat him up.

See you tomorrow on Maxwell’s BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Big Birthdays!

August 26, 2011

Maxwell’s birthday is right around the corner…4 days away to be exact.  I can’t believe my sweet little baby is going to be ONE on Tuesday!  exciting stuff!  We’re having a little family birthday party this weekend and I can’t wait.  Grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins are all coming to eat cake, sing “Happy Birthday!” and celebrate Maxwell!

There is another very special birthday coming up before Maxwell’s though.  Susan’s birthday is on Sunday and we want to wish her the very happiest of days!!  If you’ve been reading this blog a while, you know how much we love Susan and think she’s just the bee’s knees.  I really don’t know what we would do without her.

Maxwell has a little message that he wants to send to Susan on her birthday…

Maxwell also wanted to send Susan a big hug…

And then he wanted to eat the sign…which will come as no surprise to Susan!  🙂

The sign really is true.  Maxwell looooves Susan.  You should see the smile that comes across his face when she walks in the door.  He hurries over to her and she can’t scoop him up in her arms fast enough.

Susan – we hope you have a birthday as special as you!

I’ll see you all next week with full FIRST BIRTHDAY coverage!

Have a great weekend!

Lawn boy

August 25, 2011

There are a few things that can truly capture Maxwell’s attention – Baby Noah, Sesame Street, his Truck Book. On Monday I discovered one more thing that mesmerized him…

What could it be?

Dad mowing the lawn. The best entertainment a 1 year old little boy could ask for!

He could have sat there all night.

He was probably dreaming of the day that he can get out there and help Dad…

I know that’s what Dad was thinking!

Would love to hear from you! 2 Comments
