Happy 1st birthday!!!! One year ago today you came into my life and turn my world upside down (in a good way that is). This day has come faster than I have expected or wanted. You are no longer my little baby, but my little man. When I look back through the year, I am reminded of all the things you have taught me. But, the one thing that really stands out and I am constantly reminded of every time I look at your beautiful blue eyes, is that there is a love out there like no other. I felt this love for you the minute I laid eyes on you when you were born. This is a love only a parent can feel and understand.
It has been an absolute joy and an adventure to watch you grow and learn. To go from a little premie baby weighing only 5 pounds 15 ounces to a little walking giant is amazing and wonderful. I will be honest, I do miss the days where you would just fall asleep on my chest as a little baby, but I am definitely looking forward to watching you grow, learn, and experience life.
I have loved every minute, every second of this past year. I have loved watching your relationship with daddy grow, and the look daddy gets in his eyes when he looks at you. I have loved walking into your room every morning being greeted with a smile. I have loved, oh gosh, there are so many memories and things that I loved about this past year, that I cannot list in this letter.
My love for you grows every day and I am incredibly blessed to be your mother. I don't know what the next year or the next 20 years has in store for you, for us, but I simply can't wait to find out.
Lastly, I will promise you this. I will love you unconditionally, keep you safe, watch over you, and take care of you until the day that I no longer on this earth.
I love you with all my heart, soul and being. Happy birthday my little monkey.
Love always,
Mommy

he has grown so much,I remember seeing him right after he was born and thinking he was so tiny and now he is such a strong boy.Makes me realize how fast my first year with Nolan will be and makes me further appreciate every second with him because I know it will go by so fast.
Happy Birthday Syler! I suppose the time has come to stop referring to you as "Baby Syler". Welcome to toddler-hood kid!
I think moms can always call their children their baby, huh? I think when Nolan is 40 I will call him my baby.
oh! I was saying that *I* should stop calling him baby Syler. Sarah can call him baby Syler as long as she wants!
