1 year


I really can't believe that a year ago today I was studying this little round face for the first time.




I loved Max's fuzzy brown hair, and that fact that he was born with full, chubby cheeks.










Can this really be that same little boy?




























































Time goes by much too quickly!
Max is sooo, sooo busy these days. I can't turn around for more than a second at time before he's emptied a cupboard or completely cleaned off a book shelf. He can make our little 2-bedroom apartment look like a disaster area in a matter of minutes. But I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Max is a sweet heart. He makes me laugh. He will smile and giggle at anything. I love his cute, huge front teeth. The way tries to use his voice all day long. And the fact that he is already a tease...just like Sam and Eric. I love how social he is and how he tries to get strangers' attention where ever we go. It's hard to remember what life was like before Max was around. He fits right into the Dockter crew.
Happy Birthday, Little Goose! I love you!

So cute!! I think he looks totally different than when he was first born. It is crazy how much they grow and change in one year.

Happy Birthday, Max! And congrats to you, too, Lindsay. I know birthdays are as an important a day for the mom as for the child. Hope you have fun celebrating!

I can't believe that Max is already 1! It is crazy to look back at those newborn pics and see how much he has changed. He is so cute! Jack wants me to tell you to tell Sam "hi". He misses his best friend!

Max is so cute. I don't think that he looks at all likes his baby pictures. Can you believe it has been a year. I don't know where time goes by!

I'm loving your pictures! We now have a fancy camera and I was hoping it'd magically produce beautiful pics and it's not happening. Can you offer a tutorial?
Of course it helps to have adorable subjects....
