My Men

Max had been a bit fussy today. Not awful but there definitely wasn't a lot of smiles... until his dad came home. I was sitting on the couch trying to play with him when Mark walked in the door. As soon as he heard the door open he turned his head around to see what was going on and all Mark needed to do was smile at him and he got all excited. This is a regular occurrence. Max loves his dad! And Mark loves Max. It's a relationship that I had anticipated being jealous of when I was pregnant. I'll be honest, I was worried that Mark would love this baby more than he loved me and I was not OK with that! Mark has made extra effort to remind me that I'm number one and I'm very grateful for that but I'm also grateful that Max has a dad that loves him so much! I love my boy and I love my man even more!






Soo handsome!

What a Week!

Last week Max got to meet a lot of new people! His first meeting was on Tuesday and it was a total surprise! The last person I ever thought would be knocking on our door would be Cody but that's exactly what he did Tuesday afternoon. It was soo good to see Cody and be able to actually sit down and catch up. It's been a long time since I've been able to do that. What was even better is finding out that he is doing so good! We were excited to introduce Max to Cody and Max seemed to really enjoy him (though you can't really tell in the picture). 
One of the best surprises ever!

 After Mark was done class on Thursday we headed back to southern Alberta. The plan was to surprise Uncle Ben. We went straight to the ranch and spent the night there and then headed into town Friday afternoon for a gathering with my family.
Cute Cousins!

That night we headed over to the Drew's. We had set up a video chat date with the family so they were all downstairs sitting in front of the computer when we came up behind them. It was fun to see Ben again and it was really cool to be able to introduce him to Max. He was a little unsure of how to hold Max at first but he warmed up to him quickly! They definitely got along.

While we were in town we also got to catch up with Carly and Ryan and Jaqui and Johnny. Max got to meet Cambree and Jack for the first time. It's so fun that our friends had babies the same time we did.
I wasn't very good at getting pictures that weekend but I did happen to get one of Max and Jack, the rest I stole from sisters:)
How cute are they?!

They're going to be buds!
