My sweet baby Maddux has been one for quite a while now. He is coming up on 18 months! Back in March we did celebrate his birthday and now here are the pictures to prove it.
We had our family party a day early. It was a balmy Sunday afternoon, not much was going on, and on Monday Luke wasn't going to be done with work until 9 p.m. Plus I was pretty excited to bust out the present: ABC blocks from Uncle Goose. I love the colors and fonts, the beautiful pictures of animals, and I like that they are made in Michigan. The boys are crazy about them, and that's what I love the most. Maddux got them good and cakey. Dean built a tower right on the table. And promptly knocked it down--the fun part!
The best smiles.
A petite chocolate cake, violets from our front stoop, a warm, homey party. With lots of mess, running around, and drippy ice cream tracked around.
On Monday we spent time at our favorite park. Dean could barely contain himself from escaping from my photo shoot to jump onto the slides. Luke met us for lunch so that he would actually get to see Maddux on his big day.
Maddux is the sweetest baby ever. Happy, and smiley, and a soul satisfying cuddler. But when he is mad, is he ever! No one can smile like him, and no one can wail like him either. Loving to figure things out, there isn't a cap or lid safe in the house. Counters, the refrigerator, sinks, cupboards, bags, nothing is safe. If he can find the key he can open it. Luke calls him his "bread baby" because he always smells like fresh, warm bread. We love our sweet, sweet baby Maddux Ray!
