One Year...

Tomorrow is Luke's first birthday.... so... when did THAT happen? Where does a year go?  He was just born yesterday, was he not?

I love that feeling that he just "got here" yesterday... and that he's been here all my life.  Once that little person comes into your life... it's hard to remember what life was like before... isn't that true with so many people? It's a beautiful and crazy thing...

He was just this tiny when he was born:

I would hold him up on my chest and call him the "little bundle" cuz that's what he felt like.  This little tiny bundle... "Bundle Boy..."

Ally was crazy proud to finally be a big sister.  She was so happy to have him finally "out of my belly!"

I remember the day Nicole took these pictures, and how we couldn't get the little guy to sleep for her.  I don't remember how many times he peed on her stuff...  HA!  He was not going to be the sleeping, cooperative newborn... no... not my boy.  He has not been cooperative ever since!  He has his "own way" of doing things.  Both of my kids do really.  Will drive me to madness.. but serve them well in life... (I tell myself these things to maintain my sanity!)

So... Happy Almost Birthday Little Man!  Our lives may be crazed and life may be insane... but you bring joy to it with your big blue eyes, your huge smile and your silly laugh... we love you...
