Happy 1st Birthday Gray

ONE year ago yesterday we added another sweet boy to our family. Gray Bentley Anderson was born on January 21, 2010 at 7:41am. Sad to say he didn't have a fun birthday. He had 2 doctor's appointment, 2 shots, had to be woken up from 2 naps, dragged to soccer when ALL he wanted was to go to BED and then proceeded to FALL asleep in the car on the way home. He was not feeling well at all. The shots, I believe didn't agree with him, leaving him with a fever. So we didn't do his party until tonight. He still wasn't feeling well, but his brothers couldn't wait any longer. It wasn't the HUGE chocolate mess that we thought would happen. He honestly didn't eat much of the cake as you can tell by the pictures. Good thing he won't remember this birthday. Thanks for the birthday calls and cards. His first few weeks of life had us scared, but he pulled through and became stronger. Enjoy the pictures of Gray's first year.






















We LOVE you Gray! We are so thankful that Heavenly Father blessed our family with such a sweet, loving, easy going boy! Sorry you had such a lousy 1st birthday, it can only get better from here. It was nice of you to not make such a big mess with your cake, had you been feeling better I think it would have been a different story. We have had such a fun year full of memories and we look forward to another year full of them. But let's aim for a HEALTHY year.

*Enjoys chicken nuggets, raisins, applesauce, mac n cheese and pancakes to name a few.
