Happy 1st Birthday James Tyler!!




Happy birthday baby boy! When mommy and daddy thought we were done having babies God surprised us with you! When I thought a girl would be the perfect baby, I was wrong...you are the perfect baby. James you stole my heart the second I held you in my arms. You are the first baby that mommy and daddy were all alone with. How special it was to hold you and express my gratefulness to God for you. You were a big boy, 9 lbs 2 ounces! And still are. You loved being held and cuddled. I remember you would have trouble at first sleeping in your bassinet but as soon as mommy put you on my shoulder---you were a goner!!! I loved it and cherished every minute of holding you. I didn't care if you didn't like your bed, you loved your mommy and that is more important. You weren't so fond of daddy's shoulder at first, so I got lots of sleepy time with you. From then on it was smooth sailing. You hardly ever cry and you love to cuddle. You love sleeping in your pack n play and often have to be woken up by mommy in the morning. You still don't walk but that's OK with mommy. I will hold you forever!! I love you James Tyler Anderson and have cherished everyday of your life. You are my precious baby boy and will be forever!!!

Love, Mommy

My Sweet Jimmy,
I've now only spent a couple of time's with you.
From what Mommy tell's me, you are so very sweet and lovable.
I was able to be with Mommy and Daddy when your sister and two brother's were born, and I will never forget it. Mea i missed by about 1 hour, but the excitement was still there. I thank god for all of my grandkid's and hopefully Grammie can be closer some day.. I will see you at Jod's wedding, and i to hope to be able to babysit all of you, and cuddle with you!!!!
Happy Birthday Jimmy James!!!!!
I love you, Grammie
