Birthday Party at Home

 A year ago this day- our little boy completely surprised us and came nearly two weeks early! Wow this sweet boy has grown and changed so much in one year! Quick flashback:






On Luke's birthday we had a fun family party complete with pizza and presents!  Luke enjoyed eating some bites of pizza along with his baby food.  Amelia couldn't wait to "help" open his presents so we did that right after dinner.  Luke just is not interested at ALL in opening presents.  Dan will hold him and show him how to tear the paper and he will just squirm and wriggle and try to get down.  Once the presents are opened he wants to check them out but opening them- not his thing. Amelia was more than happy to "help" her  little brother open all of his presents.

The day before we had gotten a package in the mail and Amelia just couldn't wait to open it- so we opened the night before Luke's birthday

A whole box of Thomas the Train things- bath toys, a straw cup, fork and spoon, and a glow in the dark T-shirt

the bath toys were a big hit- Luke liked knocking them off the side of the bathtub over and over again

lots of red wrapping paper :)

Daddy helping Luke open a present

he checks it out briefly- a car carrier with lots of fun buttons to push and a moving lift

and he's done

now this singing turtle he really liked . . .

"take it out"

fun new outfit

puppy dog that walks and barks

new guitar- he likes the rolling ball that makes it play faster

new big boy backpack- hopefully I can get his name embroidered on it :)

a new Mickey Mouse clubhouse pop-up tent, tunnel and ball pit

not too sure about this ball pit


he kept trying to get out

and then he had enough!


Amelia rocking it out on Luke's new guitar


a big pile of new toys and what does the birthday boy do?  crawl over to the kitchen and open and close the door over and over again

open it


hmm what next?


sweet birthday boy-




Happy 1st Birthday Luke!  Mommy and Daddy and Amelia love you SOOO much!
