Frozen blueberries = happy baby
Frozen blueberries = huge mess
A simple cake for his first birthday. I was still feeling the morning sickness/exhaustion pretty strong so Luke suggested that I keep it simple . . . and I didn't argue the point. :-)
One of his favorite gifts was the toy cell phone. He still prefers the real thing but anything that makes noise and has buttons intrigues him.
Really Mama? All my own piece?
He's not afraid to make a mess but once he is done he wants his tray clean.
The next day he wore his cowboy shirt from Aunt Gretchen.
He had a blast "cooking with me" the other night while I was working on dinner.I love watching him at this age . . . seeing the depth of personality. How much he desires to be right with me all the time. Sometimes I think he knows my routine better than I do.
He's my helper. When I fold diapers he goes back and forth between the pile of clean diapers and me . . . handing them to me way faster than I can stuff and fold them. I tell him "thank you" each time and he seems delighted with himself. He knows what I am doing when I fold laundry . . . and that it has something to do with the clothes in the dresser. Right now he has it backward though. He opens our dresser drawers, gets a single piece of clothing, and brings it to me for me to fold. Maybe he will take clothes from me and put them away someday soon? :-) Right now I can't get the smile off my face when he does it. It's so innocent and sweet and he only does it when I am in the bedroom folding clothes.
I could write about my little blueberry eyes all night . . . but I think Lukie wants some sleep. I feel ready too. Like I could fall asleep in any position, anywhere, at any time. Yet, sometimes the excitement of having this baby keeps me awake. I remember that happening with Ezekiel too . . . but back then I didn't have anyone to chase, train, feed, change, and love on all day long. :-)
Goodnight.

What a sweet baby! We loved being a
part of his first birthday! It is amazing to watch him grow. You and Luke and doing a terrific job training the little mister!
Um...that is a simple birthday cake? My version of simple is a flat rectangular chocolate cake with a toy train stuck on top for decoration (which is what Hudson had for bday #2). An elaborate cake would look like yours, only the writing would be illegible.
It boggles my mind to think of what an elaborate cake must be for you.
