Happy First Birthday Grayden!

My sweet Grayden, I cannot believe you are one year old already. You have made such an impact in our lives in just one short year. You have made us better people. You have made us appreciate life and take a moment to slow down and appreciate all the little things. You have taught us that life is not always easy, but there are always positive things that come along if you are patient. You have taught us, me especially, that you cannot plan everything. However; even when life takes you down roads you weren't expecting to travel, those roads still bring you to amazing places.

 Grayden, you are a determined little boy who is going to do amazing things. You are one of the happiest little boys I know. You love to smile and you are so social. You will wave at anyone and who can resist smiling back at you. You love to perform for attention. You give high fives and clap. You are pulling yourself forward all over the place with your modified army crawl. You can sit by yourself and get down from sitting all by yourself. You also love to rock on your hands and knees and dance to music. You don't like missing out on anything or feeling like you are being left out. You love to eat, especially fingers foods. You love to play and you just started putting objects into containers with really good accuracy.

Grayden, you are loved by many and you have added so much to our family. We love you to the moon and back!  Happy birthday sweet boy!
