Birthday Gifts - part I

LUKE IS 1!!!!

So my itty-bitty baby boy (hahaha, can you say denial?!) turned 1 on Sunday! I had great things planned for him that day but thanks to mommy's nasty, crusty, infected foot that kills every time she walks on it, none of it happened :( We stayed in most of the day, ok, I stayed in all day, letting my foot rest, while hubbs took Luke out to run some errands (Luke loves getting out of the house so he may very well have accepted that as his fun birthday outings- hey, i try! ;)

The day started with Luke's morning wake up call at 7:45 a.m. (woowho, was it mommy and daddy's birthday too?!). Hubbs and I grabbed the video camera and entered his nursery singing "Happy Birthday to You!," lol, and boy was that hilarious. He had this look on his face like, "wth, who are these people and what did they do with my mommy and daddy?"

We grabbed him up out of bed and smothered him with kisses. I nursed him and then it was time to open a couple gifts from us.

**Please excuse the wrapping (thank you, Daddy!), the puffy eyes and scruffy pajamas (it was first thing in the morning remember), and the mess of a living room that we have going on right now (no excuses here, unfortunately). oh, and fair warning, but you probably know me by now, get ready for a kazillion of pretty much the same pictures, just trying to catch every single breath! ;)
