Maddox's First Birthday!

https://www.facebook.com/kathrynhastingsphotography/

Somebody turned one!!! My little nephew, Maddox, is now a one-year old and a super cute one at that! Brian and Nancy had a wonderful birthday party to celebrate the weekend after!

Little man was so happy to see Aunt Carol and Uncle Jeff!

While putting Brock to sleep the night before at Brian's home, Brock asked who would be coming to Maddox's birthday party the following day. I told him his Great-Aunt and Great-Uncle... and when he looked like he was a little bit puzzled, I mentioned "Do you remember Uncle Jeff? You put stickers all over his face at the last party!" Brock thought for a second, then BIG smile and asked wholeheartedly, "Do you think he still has them on his face??" After texting that story to our Charlotte relatives, they made sure to bring more stickers to the party! (They certainly know how to ease Brock's anxiousness!)

Look at that smile!!

Oh what fun!!!!

Time for cake!

A little unsure of what he's supposed to do with it!

Tastes good, but why are all these people staring at me!

Checking out the BIG cake!

Meanwhile, outside the kids were having a blast on the rented bounce house and Aunt Beverly's cool water-spray octopus gift (Maddox will love it when he's old enough!)

Brock made a buddy!

Unfortunately, the best picture was a blurry one.... now Brian and Nancy will see it's a bit harder to get a good picture of him sitting there - he's ALWAYS on the move - especially now he's taking steps!! (except if you're a professional photographer!)

And, speaking of which, I have to share some photos from Maddox's One-Year photo shoot because they are just THAT amazing. Shoutout to Katie at Kathryn Hastings Photography - it's Nancy's cousin too!!

 

Happy Birthday Maddox!!
