Birthday Weekend

Unfortunately everyone in our house is sick. Grandma L and Max have it worse than Andy and I, but we are all sick. Even though we are all fighting this cold, or whatever it is, we got out on Saturday and took Max to the Cars 3 movie. He's been dying to see this since he saw the first commercial months ago. He just loves Cars.


On Saturday, we surprised Max with his own fish tank. We had him take a nap in our room while Andy set up the fish tank in his room. He was surprised by the tank.


We had a low key birthday celebration on Sunday for Max's actual birthday. We took Max to the pet store to get the fish for his tank.


We got outside and swam for a little bit after Max opened his birthday presents.








We had Max's favorite for dinner: steak on the grill with sweet potatoes. Following dinner we had cake and sang Happy Birthday to Max.




It was such a nice weekend and I can't believe Max is already four. He's getting so big so fast. I remember the days in the NICU and how scared I was. Those seven weeks in the NICU seemed like forever and that they would never end. Now, those seven weeks were just a very, very short time frame in the grand scheme of things. I now have a big boy who will be starting Pre-K very soon.


We have his four year doctor appointment soon so I will have an update on height and weight. Right now his favorite things are: Disney Cars, Paw Patrol, Mickey and the Roadster Racers, PJ Masks, Batman, Candyland, Hot Wheels, swimming and riding his bike. His favorite food is pesto pasta, avocados, ham and pineapple pizza, steak and sweet potatoes. His favorite color is blue and his best friends are Izzy and Madison. He loves to fly and is a very good traveler. Things he dislikes: hair product that makes his hair crusty, losing when playing games, waiting because he is impatient and he really dislikes hearing the word "no." He pretty much eats anything we eat, so I can't think of a food that he dislikes. He's a very shy kid, but after about a 20 or 30 minute warm up to people  he is ready to go. He's a sweet boy who loves lots of hugs and kisses and I am a mommy who loves giving them to him.
