Today you turned 1. I can't really believe that it has been a whole year since you came into mine and Daddy's lives and turned everything upside down in such an amazing way. I can't believe that 1 year ago today I was holding you, my tiny 8lb perfect bundle of joy, for the first time, kissing your newborn cheeks, stroking your perfect face, snuggling you and taking in every single part of you. You were and are perfect.
Ever since that day, my life has been filled with a new type of happiness and wonder. You constantly amaze me with what you do. From your first smile to your first words, rolling over for the first time to walking around and watching you go from being our little baby into a funny, affectionate, clever little boy.



We have made so many memories with you and it is strange as you won't remember them but me and Daddy will. Your first time swimming. Your first trip to the Zoo. Your first time going to the seafront. When you met very some very special family members who are now sitting on their stars watching over you from the sky rather than being down with us. All of these are memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
This year has gone so fast. In a way, it makes me feel so sad that you are now one as I feel that I am loosing my little baby. I wish I could slow down time a little bit as I know that we will blink and you will suddenly be turning 2 and I will be wondering where the last year went again. I am going to make sure that this next year, I make sure that I soak up every single second that we have together and that I cherish every moment as if I have learnt anything this year it is that time goes by so quickly and once its gone, its gone.

In saying this, I am so so proud of the little boy that you are becoming. You are such a good little boy who always listens when he is told no (even though you try to reason with me in your own little language first!) and you are starting to develop such a funny little personality. You love nothing more than being funny and making people laugh and you are so so so affectionate. You love giving the people you love kisses and me and Daddy love receiving them, even if they are extremely dribbly :)
So, our wonderful son, Happy First Birthday! We love you so so so much and cannot wait to see what the next year brings.
We love you always and forever
Mummy & Daddy
