Max is 9

29 April

I can't believe it's been 9 years since this boy entered our lives. He started his life exactly how he lives it today: coming in at full steam.

Max is 100% a mini Ben.

He wakes up early and bounces right out of bed.

He walks like an elephant- heels first, stomping as he goes.

Everything he does is done quickly.

Max is our snuggly, goofy, soft-hearted, fast-moving little man.

I love that he won't go to bed until he gives me a hug.

I love that he waves at me right before he goes into school and then comes running out of school at the end of the day with a huge smile on his face.

I love that he says he has the two best "dads" in the world: Ben and God.

I love how he snuggles up to Ben in church and whenever we watch a movie.

I love all his craziness (even though that craziness also makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes)

We celebrated his birthday this weekend with a little family party. He decided he wanted to have a party with his friends and cousins at his favorite place: Ninja/U. We head there on May 11th for some wild and crazy fun. (Crazy being the key word. Boy parties are just insane- amiright?)
