Duke is 1 !!!

Duke has made it a whole year, along with mom and dad!  Wow what a year of blessings, love, laughter, dirty diapers, bottles, sleepless nights, laundry and unforgettable moments that will be forever cherished! 
Below are photos from Dukes 1st Birthday, his first cake, and his special day of turning one!  Sadly Duke did not get a first birthday party to do family being sick :(  Not that he will remember but mom was looking forward to making it a special day everyone else could also cherish  Cheers to many more birthday parties to come.

The yummy cake mom made for Duke's smash cake and the treats for the guests.

Photos of Duke changing before our eyes.  Plus Duke's monthly photos from 1 month to 12 months.

We had a great time singing Happy Birthday to this boy! 

Duke was not happy about the cake, he was scared!  He didn't wank anything to do with it, he would even go hide under the table.

Birthday morning - celebrating with balloons! 

Enjoying the Mustache Bash!

Grandma and Grandpa Schmitt got Duke a tool bench!  The men are working on setting it up.

Already hard at work.

Duke is in love with books!  Watch out because he will bring you a book and want it read over and over.
