YES! Luke had his very first Birthday! And after taking him into our home on April Fool’s Day we have been praying that his adoption would be final in time for his birthday…. well… we are excited to let you know that his adoption certificate and final adoption papers arrived just DAYS before his birthday, so God does answer prayer! “Mom” and “Dad” are no longer terms of hope… they are our new reality. Enjoy these birthday pics.
Luke with his grandma, they are only 90 years apart in age!
Here is Luke about to recieve his first Birthday Cake made
lovingly by mom. (yes, he is dressed as as rodent again)
First time having sugar! He seemed hesitant. What is this stuff?
Checking his cute self out in the back of the Mikey balloon.
Look at all those presents! Yes, spoiled already!
Which one should I open first?
Ah ha! I get this ribbon thing!
Luke’s Micky Mouse Cake!
(read his expression: “Get me OUT of this rodent outfit!”)
Daddy did the blowing for Luke, but no need to make a wish,
Luke IS the wish come true!
This cake stuff isn’t bad!
But he left plenty behind… we’re in no hurry for sugar rushes!
For our games we played “Plug the Pacifier on the Baby”
and, of course, Mommy was the only person to get it perfectly
in his mouth. Until she confessed later that she peeked!
The other game was Baby Luke Memory, and YOU CAN PLAY TOO! Just click on the image below, print two copies, cut out the pictures, shuffle them, lay them out face down on a table, and see if you can find pairs by turning over only two at a time.
