Happy Birthday Luke the Puke!!

Its hard to believe that he's already a year. My gosh it has gone by so fast.

My favorite things from this year
- Bringing him home- oh it was so hard to leave him in the NICU, but five days later, he was in our arms and I couldnt have been happier.
- Andrew being in love with him- he loves to play with him and for some reason run his head (I dont know why)
- That adorable little smile of his
- How crazy mobile he is. Although this is one that drives me crazy too, I love that he can get around. He climbs on the fireplace, stairs, ladder to the playstructure- he is seriously amazing, and fast
- I love his talk- he says mama and dada and lots of other mumbles
- I love that he screams in tunnels just like his brothers and sisters- tradition that I kind of wish we didnt start, but it can be pretty funny.
- His white blonde hair- He had the most, and darkest, hair when he was born, I totally thought he was going to have brown hair- umm, I was so wrong- the kids head glows its so white.
- I love that he loves to snuggle, hug, head bonk, high five, shake his head no- its all pretty cute

from this

to this,

in just one year, what will this next year bring us.

Happy Birthday Lukie- we love you!!!!

It goes by so fast! I can't believe Luke's 1 year as well! So it was about 1 year ago that i found out that my friends from Manteca, Ryan & Amy Elliott are in your ward--Amy told me she brought you dinner while Luke was in the NICU. Small world! Anyway, take care! Love ya!
