I have been wanting to write this post for a while now, but every time I go to write it, the words don’t seem to flow like I want them to, like they should. So, instead of sitting at the computer writing this I sat down on the couch and took good old fashioned pen to paper. Thinking… Reminiscing…
*********************************************
My darling Sebastian,
You have now been a part very special part of our lives for 13 whole months and what an incredible 13 months it has been. You came into our lives early one afternoon after a rough few hours and completely changed and rocked our lives – for the better. You were (and still are) perfection! 50% Daddy; 50% Mummy; 100% YOU!
We have had an amazing 13 months watching you change, develop and grow. I am in awe of you. Every. Single. Day. I love watching you and I could spend every minute of every hour of every day doing so. I love the way you have changed from a gorgeous helpless little bubba to an adorable little boy who sees adventure and amazement in the world around him, and who wants to be a part of it everything.
I love…
* that you toddle to the window every time you hear a helicopter (we have a helipad nearby)
* your fascination with animals, birds and the outdoors
* how you always want to help especially with the dishwasher and the other day you washed your socks in the cats water…
* your ability to find the tiniest crumb and eat it, or..
* your ability to find the tiniest piece of rubbish / fluff to put in the bin
* your love of music and how you love to dance and jiggle to it
You have the cutest smile, the cheekiest grin, the loveliest nature and the warmest heart. We are always greeted with smiles and cuddles in the morning. We love you with all our hearts and we couldn’t imagine our lives without you in it – we wouldn’t want to!
We love you, always and forever little man!
Love Mummy (and Daddy too – of course!) xx
These are such gorgeous photos (what a cutie he is!), and your letter is incredibly beautiful.
I keep a little diary that I write in for my nearly 4 month-old daughter, Charlotte 🙂
Aw, thank you. It is so nice to be able to document the memories xx
Such a sweet message to your little guy. He is adorable and will love this when he is older.
Thank you for sharing on the #SHINEbloghop.
Have a wonderful week!
xoxo
Tammi
Thank you xx
What a little cutie. Such a beautiful letter. x
Thank you xx
You have written a lovely letter to your son and at least when he does find the tiniest bit of fluff/rubbish he puts them in the bin and not in his mouth!….
And judging by the photographs your son is very much a happy chappy.!
Popped over from the #SHINEbloghop.
Thank Debbie! I feel very blessed having him in my life and yes very lucky the fluff goes in the bin and not in the mouth (I’m sure it does sometimes) 🙂 xx
Gorgeous letter lovely! Thanks for the credit! I haven’t had time to read blogs but this popped up and i had to give it a quick read! Love it. He is such a cutie. Love all the photos. You;re such a lucky mummy and he is such a lucky little boy for having you as his mum. xxx
Aw, thanks Maria -I truly loved your letter to Locky.
Yep, Sebastian is one special little dude and I feel very lucky to be his Mummy – you know what that feels like, you know have two gorgeous ones to cherish xx
Ah, this is so sweet. He is just adorable and your love for him shines through beautifully. My kids love finding teeny tiny things and popping them in the bin, too – very handy! #ShineBlogHop
It is definitely handy, I would rather he did that than in his mouth too 🙂
Thanks for popping by xx
Gorgeous. They do grow and develop so so much in that first year don’t they?
I write letters to my boys every birthday to summerise their year and the things we shared together. I hope they will be special to them one day as this might be to your little guy.
And well done for getting through the first year! It’s the toughest that first year I think 🙂
Oh yes they grow up oh so fast. I can not believe a whole year has passed already.
What a lovely idea writing them a yearly letter, so nice to recall all the things of the past year in one space. xx
ohhh thats gorgeous. Sesastian is gorgeous!! Beautiful letter thank you for sharing something so heartwarming with us at Sunday Brunch. lovely to see you xx
Thanks Bel! xx
What a gorgeous boy, and letter. Better watch the bin thing, my youngest starting chucking out all the good stuff too! Shoes, toys haha
Oh my goodness 🙂 will keep an eye on it, at this stage he needs our help – phew!!!!
Have a great weekend xx
