Happy Birthday, Max!

Today Max, our friends Mike and Amy's son, turns one year old (he was quite the Father's Day gift for Mike last year). Max was positively adorable at his party. I just had to post some photos!

"Yay for cake!!"

He started out tentatively...

...while Ben licked all the frosting off his cupcake.

Clearly, Max understands how to destroy a cake! Ben thought this was very funny. Then Max reached over and smeared cake and frosting in Ben's hair. Sadly, the photographer was caught unawares and missed this moment. I do have evidence of the aftermath...


It was funny when a short while later Ben climbed back up to Max and said, "You really shouldn't do that, Max!" My bossy little man. They also had a fantastic time chasing each other around the party. Max's mom is going to watch Ben and the baby (who still needs a name!) next year, so Ben will have a great time with him!! They're adorable together. It chokes me up sometimes to see them. Max is only about 3 weeks younger than Jake should be. It's nice to know that Ben has a buddy that age, though. They were definitely keeping us on our toes!

One more photo...
Ben and Daddy had some fun together tonight while I chatted w/ a friend and picked up in the kitchen. Ben asked me to come in the tent too -- haha! It was just big enough for the two of them. Note the boo boos on Ben's knee -- he has made several acquaintances with the driveway since we moved in, practicing his tricycling! Still, such a happy boy. Thanks to Grandma Crystal for the tent!
