Birthday & 4th of July

I had one sick baby this weekend but it still managed to be a busy weekend. I was so sad that Grayson was sick on his 1st birthday and for the 4th. We still managed to have a good time though.

Grayson woke up with a fever on Saturday morning and he slept almost the entire day. I was so sad that we didn't get to do anything fun for his birthday. We were going to go to the waterpark. That evening my parent's and Dustin's mom and sister came over for dinner. Grayson woke up in time to celebrate his birthday. We ate dinner and cookie cake.

Yummy cookie cake from Central Market

He loved the icing!

On Sunday Grayson was feeling even worse. We went to Olive Garden for lunch and Grayson slept the rest of the day. I felt so bad for him. Later that evening his fever had gone down and he started to feel a little better. He even wanted to help Daddy decorate his wagon for the parade.

He went to bed pretty early and we had to be up early for the parade. The parade started at 9 and we had to be there by 8:30 to line up. Grayson woke up with a fever but I was determined for him not to miss the parade. I know I definitely won't win mom of the year. I was hoping once we got there he would perk up a little. No such luck though. He was a trooper through the parade. The parade was pretty short anyways.

Riding in the wagon....I can't really take credit for the wagon. I put the garland around the rails but Dustin pretty much did the rest. He put a lot of time into it and I thought it was so sweet. That was another reason I didn't want to miss the parade. Dustin was so excited about decorating the wagon for Grayson and he did a great job!

By the end of the parade he was ready to go home. We came home and he slept the rest of the afternoon. I am probably going to take him to the doctor in the morning if he isn't feeling better. He finally ate some watermelon tonight for dinner. I hate when my baby is sick.

We had a great weekend despite Grayson being sick. I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. God bless America!
