look who's one!

our sweet baby turned one last week, and we were thrilled to receive these updated photos of him! the pictures are from one day after his birthday (my sister's birthday!), and he is holding some of the items we sent him in his care package.

he looks so adorable and innocent. he's such a little tiny guy. he only weighs 18 pounds! at least he's on the (korean) growth chart. i can't wait to meet him and bring him home.

happy birthday max!!!

yesterday was max's first birthday! brian and i decided to celebrate our son's big day by going toy shopping and then enjoying some pizza and a cake!

maybe the above picture was taking it a bit far?!?!?!

this was a bittersweet day for us. your baby's first birthday is such a huge celebration both in america and in korea, and it was hard to not have him home. i'm hoping his foster mother spoiled him on his birthday. we certainly will in the years to come!

the day after his birthday, max had a well baby check at Eastern and he received a care package from us. and we received what i had been hoping for: new pictures! i'll post them in the next blog!
