Your first week home...........

You came home on the evening of Thursday, April 14th ( your Uncle Jarrett's 30th Birthday) Your Grandpa Steve and Grandma Rindy were there during your birth and when we brought you home.

The first week you were home you had to wear a belli band because you had jaundice and got your foot pricked everyday to see if it had changed. You were a trooper and rarely cried when getting your foot pricked.

                                                             You and your light :)

The day our angel arrived April 12th

You arrived at 8:03pm on April 12, 2011. I checked into the hospital on the evening of Monday, April 11th and was scheduled to be induced at 8:00 am the next morning. You were due on April 18th but I was having high blood pressure so we set a date to have you a couple days early. They started my pitocin on Tuesday morning and by Tuesday evening you had arrived with a full head of hair and the most precious cry. I counted all your fingers and toes and Dad cut the cord. With tears in our eyes we watched you get your first bath and listened to your cry. (You grew to love bath time) You weighed 8lbs. and were 19 inches long and could not have been more perfect.

To Grayson

I wanted to create something for you to look back at and see how much your parents LOVE you. Also, for you to see all the things you did, all the places you went and all the people who love you. I'm not one for much writing so it will be mostly pictures but they say a picture is worth a thousand words. You were the best thing that ever happened to your Mom and Dad. Hope you look back at this with a smile on your face and lots of love in your heart.
- LOVE YOU MOM
