Dear Tyler;

Well, my Handsome Man, this will be the first year we will enter together. You have been such a blessing to me, I am one very lucky mummy to have you as my son. I know at first I was unsure of the whole situation, but now I couldn't be more grateful for your existence. Fate doesn't throw you things you can't handle, so I knew you were here as a blessing rather than a curse, and I was so right. You are an amazing little boy, you are always smiling and laughing, always pleasant. You can see how much love you have for your family, especially your sister, and even strangers, just by the look in your eyes. I can tell you are going to be an amazing man/son. A lot of 2012 has been about you; we found out we were expecting you, we found out you were a boy, you arrived, you had your first Christmas, and now you will be celebrating your first New Year. It's mad how much can happen in a year, and even nuttier to think that at the beginning of this year you were nothing but a bunch of cells slowly forming and growing, and now look at you. You are an actual person with his own cheeky personality. I am in awe of you. You, along with your sister, are the light of my life. You are the reason for me to make 2013 the best year yet. I am going to try my damn hardest, and I am going to do it for you. You deserve the best. you deserve my all, and that is what I am going to give. 2013 will bring your first birthday, and I am looking forward to it. It will be the first year we will have spent together right from January to December. You have only been here for 3.5 months, and they have been a hard 3.5 months, but definitely rewarding. It has all been worth it. In just fifteen weeks my family has been completed, my life has changed even more than it had before, and I have realised a hell of a lot. All thanks to you. I am writing this blog as I watch you and your sister in the living room. Your sister is playing happily in front of you and you are sitting in your bouncer gurgling and smiling at her. Love oozes from you, baby boy. Already I am proud. As I said to Lilia, when you become a teen you will probably find me embarrassing and irritating, wanting little to do with me, but that's okay. I get it. A few years of distance is totally worth it, you will always be a mummy's boy at heart. You have such a pure soul, with so much love to give, and I am proud to call you my own. So Happy New Year gorgeous, let's make this one ours.

I love you. Forever and always,

Your Mummy xxx
