Happy Birthday Maximilian…

…this, your very first year in my life has brought me more joy than I could have ever expected…watching you grow, holding your not so little hands, wiping away those very real tears and tickling your tiny little toes; watching every facet of your wonderful charter develop...your laugh, those looks, with those eyes…you are truly an amazingly beautiful baby boy! Each day I can’t wait to wake up and put you on my lap, in my arms, holding you close so that I can kiss those cheeks…I certainly hope that we can always spend time like this, on my lap or on the floor…please know that I never want this to end; you will always be my baby boy and I hope that you will forever keep me as your Papa. Happy First Birthday Max…
