Luke's Birthday Celebration

Luke is 2 years old!  Poor kid was spotted with hives on his birthday week-end but he didn't let that slow him down any.  Saturday was insane and there was literally only one 10 minute period between the hours of 6 am and 11:30 pm when all 7 of us were home together.  So we celebrated on Sunday instead.  He started of the morning with a splash, dunking donuts in milk just like his big brother Jake.  He was pretty excited about this fun new twist to breakfast.

 



One of the only shows Luke watches on TV is Disney's Phineas and Ferb (definitely the funniest cartoon on TV, the boy has great taste!).  He loves it, especially Perry the Pet Platypus, who also happens to be a secret agent.  So it was an Agent P kind of birthday for Luke.

Not letting Perry out of his sight

Luke got great gifts from his grandparents, a fun train and this Noah's Ark Little People set.  For Christmas Luke had gotten a Little People Santa Claus who looks suspiciously like Noah, as Luke exclaimed "HO HO HO!!", excitedly pointing at Noah.  It was so funny, especially since none of the rest of us had noticed the similarities.  That is one smart 2 year old!

Is it Noah or Santa?

Hayley even made him a Phineas and Ferb coloring book with coloring pages she taped into a blank notebook.  Luke has loved it and it was the perfect gift to open right before church.  He had a great time, sitting still, smiling big and coloring the whole time.  It was great!

Another thing Luke loves are bubbles, so he finally got his own no-spill bubbles.  He had a blast with Hayley and Jake, blowing/eating bubbles. 

 


So we had to try to make a Perry the Platypus cake. After a failed Perry/Twinkies experience, I finally used his Agent P action figure, popping out of the ground/cake,like he does in the show when he is secret agent mode (as opposed to pet platypus mode!).


 

Agent P!

Luke was memorized by the cake, just jabbering, smiling and pointing.  And apparently, redecorating as well, adding the sister Candace to the top of the cake.  It works!

So Excited - cake, Perry the Platypus and Ice Cream!

Happy Birthday Luke!
