While we reflect on a wonderful first year as parents, I am reminded of several things that I love about Luke (bacon bits)...
10. His shimmy shake after he goes #2
9. His determination to accomplish tasks
8. His bath time squeals
7. His love for learning
6. His babbling (dadadada, mamamama, babababa)
5. His clapping (he loves to clap and starts clapping if you say "good job" to him)
4. His hair (it usually points everywhere)
3. His love for people
2. His belly laugh
1. His tooth-filled smile
I also celebrated a year of nursing Luke - we both made it for the full year without needing to supplement. Now, our challenge is to get Luke to like cow's milk. Enjoy a few pictures from his first birthday party.

happy birthday, luke and congrats tammy! we are STRUGGLING with the cow's milk! we made it the full year as well and i can't get him to drink the cow's milk. just today i tried enriched rice milk and i think we might have had a little success, but he still wants to nurse about 6 or so times a day(and night, ugh). let me know how it goes for you guys and if you have any advice!

Congrats on making it to a year! May Luke take as well to cow's milk as Naomi did - she likes it far better than she ever did like expressed breast milk, and in fact weaned herself shortly after it's introduction (we mixed in cow's milk in increasing proportions over several days). It was all much easier than I expected, but at that point she was only getting no nurse twice a day anyway, which probably helped.
