My Baby is ONE!

Yesterday Lucas turned one.  What a year this has been.  How is it that after you have a baby the time flies by so much faster than when you were pregnant?  Luke has been such a joy in our family.  Darren and I knew we only wanted 3 kids and we were prepared to have another girl.  When we saw a boy on the ultrasound it was clear to me that our family was then complete.  Madison and Marli have loved having a brother and Luke just loves the attention.  He is such an easy going baby.  The fun things he is doing now: clapping hands, walking around walls and furniture, crawling on feet and hands, says cucka when something is bad, says Uh Oh, Num Num when he is hungry, and of corse momma and dad.  He didn't have any teeth until this past week and now has one bottom and one top coming in at the same time. 
Here is some pictures from his birthday party.  We rented a big inflatable movie screen and projector to watch the movie 'UP' in our backyard.  I decorated with a movie theme and had individual popcorns for everyone along with a big assortment of movie theater candy.  We had a great turn out! After cake and ice cream we gave the birthday boy his cake and he played a little but didn't like the frosting all over his hands and was done.  Lucas helped opened presents and started to get overwhelmed by everything.  He got some really cute clothes and gifts.  Thank you all for coming and making his day so special.  We have great friends and family!!!
