Luke turned 1, on 1/11/11.

Pretty neat, if I do say so myself.

Today, Layton said, "Mommy, Luke is too little to have a birthday." 

My feelings exactly. How is he big enough to be one year old?  sigh.

sweet reflection.....literally and figuratively in Mommy's heart

Love these expressions......nose wrinkle and a smile!

His eyes....oh, my....I get lost in them:)

"Mommy, it's fun to be ONE!"

1st CUPCAKE, on his 1st birthday

"Happy Birthday, dear Luke.....Happy Birthday to you!"

Layton helped blow out the candle, and then it was time to dig in!

"Ah, excuse me, Luke....the wrapper is not edible.  Sorry!"

This face says it all!

And just for the record....Layton wouldn't touch his first cake.  I had to make him taste it!!

What does this say about how different they are and will be?  

Makes me a tad nervous.

Then to finish our day.....I made his favorite dinner, spaghetti and then he had another cupcake.
You know, since it's his birthday and all!

One happy boy.  One sugar high.

This picture was taken at exactly 6:06 pm, the minute he was born, one year ago.

 (And yes, I have 3 pictures of Layton at 11:32 am on his exact birth minute too!)

And then..............






he needed a birthday BATH!

We plan to party just has hard on Saturday for his official birthday bash!

Stay tuned.....
