LUKES BIG DAY

Today is Lukes Birthday.

 

I can't believe my little baby is already ONE, and officially starting his life as a toddler. He has come such a long way in the past year. Every day is a new milestone and adventure. We have so loved having this little munchkin in our family... I don't even really remember what it was like before he was born...less exhausting, I am sure, but far more boring, and much less fulfilling. I love being a mommy, and Jake loves being a daddy.
To start off Lukes big day, we opened a few gifts. We have saved some for his party on Saturday, so he just opened 3 today. He got a Thomas the Train DVD and a big tub of Mega Bloks from Jake and I, and then he was very spoiled and got a Mickey Mouse robe and slippers and a Disney t-shirt from his 'aunty' Leanne in London. I know he will be even more spoiled on Saturday with lots more still to open.

The day was just our usual day... we went grocery shopping, played a bit, napped etc...
When Jake got home, we decided to head down to Strawberry City, just a few miles up the road from our house, to pick some strawberries.

And then 'Daddy' and Luke of course had to get in some play time with Lukes new Mega Bloks. Jake was more excited than Luke about the blocks (I obviously made a good choice. LOL), but Luke enjoys any playtime he has with his daddy. Mommy is for cuddles, daddy is for fun. LOL 

The day was good. Jake and I are the proud parents of the CUTEST little boy (and I'm not biased. LOL)
and we have survived the first year of parenthood with only a few extra wrinkles and grey hairs. I am looking forward the the adventures we will have with our 'Bean' in the next year.
