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 has been such a treat to get to see you grow by leaps and bounds over the past year. You are becoming quite the handsome little boy! With all of the accomplishments you have made over the past year, I am sure that you have some more wonderful things in store for year #2.
