Happy 1st Birthday, Luke!!

One full year has flown by since the day Luke was born. I still remember it like it was yesterday - of course, 14 hours in labor is not something one soon forgets. =)

Here are the current stats:

June 26, 2006 - 22lbs 3oz, 29-3/4 in long;
Both his weight and length were in the 50th percentile, but his head circumference was in the 70th percentile. (big brain) =)

June 22, 2005 - 8lbs 6oz, 20-1/2 in long (We've come a long way)!

Anyway, we had his 1st birthday party at our house and just invited the family over - nothing huge. We bought the BBQ from Buddy's, and we made all the fixins ourselves. I decorated in a "Construction" theme and Luke wore a Bob the Builder outfit. He was so cute!
I'll only post a few of the pictures here, even though I took probably 150 or more. (Thank God for digital)!!





Here we are opening presents. I was pretty sure Luke wouldn't know what to do with a gift. And he confirmed my suspicions - all he wanted to do was play with (and eat!) the paper.






One of his gifts was a Radio Flyer Rocket Ship (thanks Grandpa Brian).




Here we are trying to get a picture with the cake -- as soon as Luke saw it, he wanted to grab it. Apparently Mommy is not fast enough - he still managed to rip off an edge of the icing.


"Mmm... Chocolate cake!!!"


Yay! I love birthdays!!!


And this is my new favorite picture... I don't know why - it looks like he's rolling his eyes at me, so I shouldn't like it at all. But I still think it's cute.
