Luke turned one TODAY!!!!!! (Okay, it was like 5 months ago, sorry for not publishing these sooner!) Our little big boy had a busy week leading up to his awesome birthday party. We went to the zoo and saw the new lion cubs. We saw the cubs running after their mom and trying to tackle her, with the mom looking like she was saying "come on kids, leave mommy alone. Mommy's tired. Okay fine, *nip nip nip*. Oh how can I say no to those cute faces!"
Luke's birthday was a blast! Grandma and Grandpa came up for the occasion because Grandpa just happened to have business travel in Seattle. Luke's Jejebapa and Jejema were able to video call in for the party on Saturday, and Aunts and Uncles skyped in for the present opening on Sunday. Luke is such a loved little boy!
Enough of us writing. Here's all the pictures from this week!

 |
| Woah Mom! Did you see that one? Lions are awesome! |

 |
| "I will not be contained!" |
 |
| "Wait, what is this?" |
 |
| "Ummmm, seriously? This feels...weird" |
 |
| "Hmmm, not bad" |
 |
| "Okay, let's try a bigger bite." |
 |
| "Okay, still good, but I should pace myself." |
 |
| "Hey! This is really good! Why haven't you given me this before?" |
 |
| "Alright, no more pacing. I'm all in!" |
 |
| "No touching! My cake!" |
 |
| "My cake. All for me. And all on me" |
 |
| "I wonder if my leg likes the taste of the cake too..." |
 |
| "Nooooo! I was going to sit on it!" |
 |
