Happy 1st Birthday Lukkas!

Good Morning Birthday Boy!

Thursday, March 28th was Lukkas's first birthday!  This is typical of how he greets me in the morning - all smiles with his Tigger and Big Bird lovies in his hands. 

The birthday boy spent his day at day care since Momma and Papa had to work and had parent teacher conference that evening.  Our day care provider is wonderful and made cupcakes for the birthday boy. We opened a few presents at home that night - and then off to bed. We planned for his birthday party on Saturday.

Saturday, March 30th- we had the official party.  We invited friends from work and from day care. It was loud - but everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. 

After some light snacks, we opened presents.

Grandma and Grandmpa Emerson Skyped in from Wisconsin to join the festivities!

Our dear friend Shannon and Leif trying to get the fun new toys out of the boxes! (he,he,he)

After presents- time for the big birthday cake moment!  

Hoping for the face plant into the cake or a least some big hand full - we all stood watching with anticipation AND...

One finger - one little swipe of the cool whip topping - and that was it.  Papa commented that his boy doesn't waste any food!

With a little help from Momma, he did dig in and eat his cake. 

It was a very fun afternoon - one special gift from Mrs. DillyDally (a co-worker) is a handmade quilt. 

Lukkas LOVED his new blanket - what a treasured item.  

Lukkas is weighing in at 24.3 pounds and 30.5 inches tall! He's starting to talk a little more - doggie, Leinna (nay-na) are a few new words in the vocabulary.  No more bottles and all sippy cups - even at bed time - thankful for the easy transition. Still no new teeth yet- he's sure working on them though. He loves the song "If You're Happy and You Know it" and loves his wrestling time with Papa after dinner.    So hard to believe my Mister is 1 years old - seems like I just blinked and now he's a little boy and not such much a baby.   He truly completes our family and is such a blessing.
