Dear Max,
One year ago today I held you in my arms and looked at your sweet face for the first time. I remember thinking how perfect you looked, and I couldn't take my eyes off of you. Oh, what a precious moment! Every day since then I have thanked God for blessing us with you, for only He could bestow such an amazing gift. Two scriptures I pray for you:
" In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 6:3
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your strength and with all your soul and with all your mind." Luke 10:27
There is nothing that will make your daddy and I prouder or bring us more joy than for you to follow these two commands. Happy birthday, sweet Max! We love you more than words can say.
Love,
Mommy
Dear Max,
You are already one year old! You have been a great baby, and are growing bigger and sweeter every day. Your gentle, calm nature belies your willingness to dance to any music, bang your tray for more food, and laugh while being roughly tackled by your big brother. Your curiosity gets the best of you at times – urging you to explore the wrong cabinets or splash around in the toilet! It’s not your fault that we sometimes leave the door open. By the way, you look pretty good in your brother’s hand-me-down clothes. Out of protest, you’ve stayed a bit smaller than he was so that’s gotten you a few new things to wear. A little advice… you would be wise to make better friends with the vacuum cleaner. Though it seems so frightening, this will inevitably benefit you in the future. All things considered, it’s hard to imagine loving a little boy more than your mother and I love you. We look forward to watching, supporting, and guiding your growth as you discover the world. Happy 1st birthday!
Love,
Daddy
