From sleepless nights to endless cuddles – beautiful chaos
My son just turned one—and I’m still trying to wrap my head around how fast that year flew by. It feels like just yesterday we were holding you for the first time, amazed by how tiny and perfect you were. Now you’re crawling, babbling, laughing, and lighting up our lives in ways we never imagined.
You are my joy. My little sunshine. The reason mornings feel brighter and nights feel softer. You’ve taught me patience, resilience, and a kind of love that’s deeper than words. Watching you grow has been the most beautiful experience of my life.
Sure, this year came with its challenges—sleepless nights, financial stress, relationship ups and downs. But none of that is your fault. You didn’t ask to be born; we chose this life together. And I’ll never blame you for the hard parts. You are the best part.
I love the way you reach for my face when you’re sleepy. The way you giggle when I make silly sounds. The way you light up when you see something new. You remind me to slow down, to notice the little things, to be present.
I hope we get to celebrate many more birthdays together. I hope you grow up knowing how deeply you’re loved—not just for what you do, but for who you are. This is just the beginning of your story, and I’m so lucky to be part of it. Happy first birthday, my sweet boy. You are everything.
