Gosh he looks tall and handsome. On Sunday, he graduated primary and was ordained a deacon by his dad. His papa and two of his uncles were there to help. Next Sunday he will help pass the sacrament for the first time and I am so proud of him.
Andrew found Ben's old suit on Saturday and begged to try it on -- and it fits! He wanted to look just like Max on Max's special Sunday.
Max is a very good big brother. He is patient (most of the time -- and he tries very hard, I can tell), and helpful and he is often called on to do things for his younger siblings while his parents' hands are full.
We were on a walk around the neighborhood and he asked to try carrying Millie in the front pack. I mean, come on, look how cute.
She hurt his back after a block or two though.
Last week he had his well-child checkup, where he got his middle-school shots and his medical form all filled out for his first week-long scout camp (he left today and comes back Saturday!)
He is 63 1/4 inches tall, so we are basically saying he's almost 5 feet 4. It's the high 90s percentile. And he lost almost 10 pounds since last summer's checkup. The doctor checked his weight twice to make sure. His pants and shorts are loose and his legs look so long. It's all the basketball practice and games and the lawn-mowing jobs.
He had a basketball cake. We gave him some snacks and supplies for scout camp, and an mp3 player and headphones, and he has been listening to music now while he practices basketball.
He is a good kid and we will all miss him this week!
PS
-His first birthday, we got a Costco sheet cake (with the big frosting balloons) and had both families over for dinner in the backyard. My family lived in Utah County at the time.
-His second birthday, I took his toy mower to Harmons and the bakery decorated a cake to look just like it. He was obsessed with mowers. I had just found out that our second baby was going to be a boy, so we bought some new more-expensive boy shoes because we knew we could pass them down.
