Quick Update...

So as I'm sure you can imagine, things have been pretty hectic around our place these last few months. But I'm back at work now so I have a few minutes to update everyone:) Max is doing amazingly well. He's giant and we are excited to see how big he is at his 2 month appt. next week. He is smiling and cooing all the time now and his biggest smiles are saved for Milo. He LOVES him. It so awesome to see how he lights up whenever he catches a glimpse of his face. And the feeling is mutual. Milo adores him. He is always trying to kiss his head, he wants to hold him constantly, and he likes to try to put his binky in when he is crying (it usually ends up in his eyeball). We have only had two pee-in-the-face incidents, and they were both in Milo's face. Once when I was bathing Max in the sink I reached over to grab the wash and Milo started laughing really hard. I looked over and Max was peeing like a fountain straight onto Milo's head. Hilarious. Then the same thing happened when I had them in the tub together. I have a feeling this is a forecast of my future. Lots of pee, burping, and soccer. (Our house has been World Cup Central) I'll post more pics when I get a few minutes.

Hi, I'm Max

Meet the newest addition to our crew. Max William Webb was born on Cinco de Mayo around 1:00 in the afternoon. He weighed 7 lbs and 15 oz and was 21 inches long. Everything went really smoothly with the delivery and has been going great ever since. We are all adjusting to having two babies in the house. Milo is totally in love with his new brother. He gets very worried if Max is crying and he kisses his head about 1 million times a day. Max is such a sweet baby and is so far sleeping really well and adjusting to being out in the world quite nicely. We are so happy to have him here and I am especially glad to have his huge noggin out of my rib cage:)

Thanks for all the support and love everyone has shown us. Oh and sorry it took so long to post pictures:)

Go Milo, It's Your Birthday!

Milo turned 1!!! It was such a momentous occasion that he'll remember forever::) Just joking. He had no idea what was going on, but we had a lot of fun celebrating. He had a little mini party at the park next to our house with his cousins. I know there are a lot of pictures of him eating cake, but honestly it was the cutest thing ever. Also, I bought these aviator sunglasses for him a few days ago and he is obsessed with them. He wouldn't take them off the whole day. He is such an amazing little dude and we are thankful every single day to have him in our family!!

Easter

We had a great Easter! Milo wasn't that interested in finding eggs, but he sure thought they were tasty once he had them:)

Milo was generously offering to share his eggs. And since I am pregnant and all I was happy to share his candy with him:)

He really did just want to eat the empty eggs

This is the new face he does whenever he sees the camera. It's kind of a smile, and kind of a growl:)

Milo's brand new brother

So I bet that title tricked a few of you into thinking I had my baby...Ha ha ha fooled ya. But Milo did get to meet his new biological brother, Grady last night. I failed to mention in my previous post that his birth mom Tiffany was in town to place another baby. She chose an amazing family from Washington. We had the unique opportunity to meet Wendy (Grady's new mommy) and have dinner with her and Grady last night. It was so special. She is wonderful and we are so glad she and her family want to make sure our boys stay in touch and have a special bond for the rest of their lives. When we found out I was pregnant we knew we wouldn't be able to adopt this baby and we were so worried that the family Tiffany chose wouldn't be open to making sure the boys stay in touch. We are so excited to have Wendy and her family in our lives and can't wait to form many lasting memories with her, Grady, and the rest of their family!

Milo checking Grady out. He loved him. It was so funny. He kept trying to peer into his carseat.

Grady with his new mommy Wendy. He is only 5 days old in these pictures.

Close up of cute little Grady's face. You may be thinking...Are you sure that's not Milo when he was 5 days old?? They seriously could be twins. They look EXACTLY alike. It's pretty awesome:)

Dinner with Tiffany

Last week we had the awesome opportunity to go to dinner with Milo's birth mom Tiffany. She is such an amazing woman. It was so fun to see her interact with Milo. I loved seeing how much he looks like her. They have such similar features. We are so lucky to have her as Milo's birth mom and it really reminded us how grateful we are to her for providing us with the best thing in our lives.....our little dude. This is such a bad picture, but it was dark and hard to see. You can totally tell how much they look alike though. We look forward to someday seeing her again and hope she will remain in our lives forever.

This picture has nothing to do with anything, I just think Milo looks adorable in his church clothes:)

So Long Gramps

For those of you who had the chance to meet my Grandpa Madsen, it's not something you will soon forget. All the best dirty jokes I know I learned from him. He taught me to play blackjack and poker (with swedish fish of course:). He provided my family and I with some of our very greatest childhood memories by taking us to Lake Powell several times a year for most of our lives. He taught us to ride waverunners, do 360's and always let us invite friends to come along. I know some of you guys will remember some hilarious time with Kenny. After he sold the houseboat we moved our annual vacation spot to Vegas and once again he provided us with some memories we will NEVER forget.

If ever you needed anything you just had to call up Grandpa and somehow he would have 3 of that something for you to choose from the next day. He seemed to have connections EVERYWHERE.

He passed away pretty suddenly this Monday and we will all miss him very much! He was very loved and will always be remembered.
