Look who's walking...and kicking

WARNING: The following video is longer than I would personally watch if I saw it on someone else's blog. Feel free to turn it off after a few seconds of watching. We promise we won't be offended. Better yet--we won't even know! We'll post shorter videos as soon as we figure out how to edit them.

Max trying to make Mao (and Ashley and Sunny) proud:

Happy Birthday Max!

Our little baby is now a one-year-old! This year as flown and we absolutely could not imagine our family without him. Max was sick on his birthday so we saved our little celebration for today.

Wonderful Christmas---take our word for it.

We had a wonderfully low-key Christmas this year. We just stayed home and enjoyed the excitement of the morning and played with our little boys all day. We might have been a little too low-key  since we didn't take a single picture on Christmas Day. In fact, these pictures from Christmas Sunday are the best we have. We did videotape Christmas morning so it wasn't a total miss. Next year year we'll be sure to snap a few photos as well.

The day after Christmas Max took his first 3 steps. He's not a "walker" yet, but he's on his way.
