Max is 3 years old!!!!

I cannot believe my baby is 3!!  Max is such a joy to have in our home.  He has the sweetest, funniest little personality.  We are so lucky to have him!

 Over the last year he has changed so much.  He talks all the time!  He is quite the repeater and has super good hearing. . . so we have to be careful what we say.  He is very polite and uses 'please' and 'thank-you', I love it!!  He is getting to be very independent but will still like to be held and cuddled if he's tired.  He knows all of his colors and can count to 10. . . .I don't know how or when this happened. . . I credit it to the time he spent at Grandma and Grandpa Bryson's.  He is a great big brother and is always wanting to hold or hug baby Jack.

This year he really started snowboarding and we are so proud of him!  Jeff has a leash on him to help him steer but he's getting pretty confident in going down the hill.  He is pretty brave, but really works best when his mouth is full of skittles and he has root beer and fries waiting for him in the lodge:)  

Max helped decorate his own cake this year, he had a blast doing it!!! He helped wash the cars and trucks first and then stacked them on the cake. .. He was a little excited about his cake, can you tell?

Jeff built Max this awesome Monster Truck race track for his birthday.  It has been such a hit, if you know Max you know he obsessed with anything with wheels!  A few weeks after his birthday they went to the Monster Truck show, which was also a huge hit!

We sure love this birthday boy.  He made us parents and has taught us so much in these 3 years. . . who knew we could love little people so much!!  Happy Birthday Max Doyle!  We love you!

Jack 4 Months. . . .

Jack is four months!  I cannot believe how time has flown by. . .but in a good way.  The older he gets the happier this little guy seems to be.  He had a rough stretch, but I think it's safe to say we are past the worst.  He is now much more content and will sleep between 4-5 hour stretches at night, hooray!!  He loves to watch Max play and is getting pretty smiley.  He mostly likes to smile at mom and dad. . . he makes strangers work pretty hard for it.  He has found his voice and loves to call out to us if we leave him alone.  At this 4 month appointment he weighed 16 lbs 1 ounces.  I love the chub on his thighs and his cheeks are getting so round!

Isn't he just the cutest baby you've ever seen!
