HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY MAXWELL!

Today is Max's First Birthday!  He is the BEST.  I am so proud to be his mom and to watch him grow.
I love you always Max.

Happy Father's Day William!

Dear Will,
Max and I love you and think you are THE BEST!  Thank you for being so caring, loving, funny, unpredictable, happy, and silly. 
Max has the BEST daddy in the world.

WE LOVE YOU!!
~Tiffany and your son Max.

Tiff's Top Three on Friday!

Each Friday I am going to post "Tiff's Top Three!"  These posts can be about anything, my cute little man, life, Will, myself, and anything that looks interesting from the week.  It is just another addition to my blog, or what I like to call my online journal.
Enjoy!


TOP THREE for 06/15/2012
1.  I LOVE the TODAY SHOW.  I have watched it for years.  I have always loved Matt Lauer.  Today on the show Justin Beiber was on.  Over 10,000 fans waited to see his concert.  Some waited outside, in bad East Coast Summer weather since Tuesday Morning!  That is dedication. 
I have to admit, I like the young 18 year old singer.  If you haven't seen his movie "Never Say Never" you should, it will give you a deeper respect for the kid. 

This little girl was on this morning with him, she has a terminal illness and Justin talks to her each day on facetime.  She calls her three year old self "Mrs. Beiber" - sooo cute!

2.  Last year at this time I went into labor.  53 hours later, after a record breaking time spent in labor and delivery - Maxwell McLean Strong came into the world.  He was PERFECT!  And of course, in my eyes, he still is.

 

3.  Did you know I collect stuffed animals.  Yup - since I was little.  Will gives me stuffed animals (The offical Disney kind) instead of flowers.  He knows me so well.

In the picture above I am holding STITCH.  He is one of my favorites.

Thank you Emily!

My friend Emily just participated in the SCOOPER-BOWL!

She wrote this blog post - it made me cry because she ate a scoop for my Mom.
Thanks Emily for your LOVE and SUPPORT.  It means a lot.

ICE CREAM is GOOD!

Guess What Max Found?

It was like I was keeping something from him!

And this video sums it all up - I love the smirk he gives me right in the beginning:

Getting Ready for Max's First Birthday

Thank you Alison Parker for allowing us to have Max's party at your house!  We are so excited. 
Invites are ordered, and will be in the mail this week!

Since Max's first Birthday is in less than 10 days, I decided to make him a book about his first year.  I want to do this for all my kids.  A first year book.  It is a book just for them, about them. 
I have been working on it a lot and I am excited to order it and see the finished product.
I just have to add his first birthday page!  It is 20 pages and here are a few pages to preview:

Do I really have an almost ONE year old??
