My dearest darling boy,
I cannot believe that the day has come when you, my gorgeous baby boy, celebrate your 1st birthday. You have made me so happy Burton, and since you came into my life it has made it more worthwhile and given me a purpose. I have enjoyed our first 12 months together and you have made me so proud to call myself your mummy. It has been an honour to watch you grow each day and change from an 8 lb newborn into the 27lb cheeky monkey you are today.
There were times when I was tired and I may have been a bit short with you in those first few weeks, and I am sorry for that. I know that now when you whinge it brings out the stress in my voice when I speak to you. Please forgive me for these moments and the ones to come, and just know that I love you and I will never intentionally want to cause you pain or upset but I know it is going to happen.
You have made me a better person and I feel I have the best job in the world! Thank you for being my funny, cheeky and gorgeous boy.
I will always love you more than words can say and apologise for those moments when I cry, and when I will cry when I feel overwhelmed – all mummies cause embarrassment!
I look forward to the future with you and wonder how much you will have changed again by this time next year.
Here is your last year in photos:

Awww, how cute is he?? I spotted a Slinky Malinki book in there – do you know people from New Zealand, or did you buy it over here?? Kiwis are born and bred on Lynley Dodd books – my daughter has a couple sent over from Nana and Pop. x
