One Year


We had a Birthday in our household this week.

On Wednesday The Lucas turned the big numero uno. That's right, he is one year old. Officially.


It's hard to believe that he is already one year old. It doesn't seem possible that we've already had him for that long. But at the exact same time it seems like he has always been a part of our family. And I guess that's because he has.



It was fun to watch him dive into his very first birthday cake. There was no hesitation. Before we had even finished with the birthday song - as soon as the cake was within reach - he took a big handful of cake and frosting off of the edge of the cake. So, I cut off a big chunk of the cake for him to continue to demolish and shove in his mouth by the fistful.





He really went to town. It was really funny to see...





it was made even more funny by the fact that Audrey was so, so different on her first birthday. When we set the cake in front of her and sang happy birthday she just sat and looked at the cake, waited until we were done singing, and then very slowly reached out her hand and using only her thumb and fore finger, very delicately took a single candy sprinkle that lined the bottom of the frosted cake and ate that single sprinkle. And she continued to daintily eat very small pinch-fuls of sprinkles and frosting. Such a girl. And so funny that that's just who they are. I love how they are both so distinctly themselves. It's a beautiful thing.




Happy One Year, Bud! We love you so much!
