It's about time!

Maverick can crawl!

With the big day just two days away, and his party tomorrow, Maverick finally decided that tonight was the night.  He has been so, so close for what seems like forever.  Derek and I were debating what would be motivating enough for him to crawl after and I thought about Chandler's party favor horn.  Maverick had already gotten ahold of it once and ripped it to pieces (with much whining and pouting from Chandler) but with some scotch tape we were able to fix it.

The video here is crawling attempt # 2, so you can see at the start he was a little "over it" but he quickly showed he can do it and now it won't be long before he's all over the place.

Today was a really fun day for all of us.  Derek took off from work to help with Maverick's 1-year pictures and to get things ready for the party tomorrow.  It was so fun to see Maverick get his pictures done with our photographer and it brought back so many memories of Chandler and Brighton.  I really can't believe my baby is one!  We always have the boys' pictures done with blue balloons and Derek had to drive to four different stores to get them filled with Helium.  Apparently there is a shortage?!?

I wanted some of our own pictures with the balloons and Derek got this great shot.

He also took some without the balloons so we'd have some for comparison to one of my favorite shots of Chandler.  Can you tell they are brothers?

Lastly, I had to include one of all my three boys.  We love using our neighbor's yard for flowers pictures.  His yard is amazing.
