Tuesday 20th April

My beautiful baby boy,

Today marks one year since the doctor told me that I didn't have a tummy bug and that I was pregnant. What an amazing year it has been, from feeling you getting bigger inside of me and week to week following what was devloping and growing now to giving birth to you and then for the last four months watching you grow and discover new things all the time. I love you so much little man.

You have been so good the past two days, full of smiles and giggles
and cooing and gaaing all the time. Everybody that meets you thinks
that you are beautiful, smart and completly georgeous. It seems
everybody falls in love with you the moment they meet you. I love
watching you interact with people, always so taken with new faces and
new places. It makes me smile to see you already trying to interact
with and explore your world.

Yesterday you decided it was time for a new trick and so when I was
giving you tummy time you decided you had enough of that and suddenly
you flipped yourself over on to your back then you lay there grinning
up at me so proud of your new trick. I know that you could tell that
mummy was so proud of you because not long after you decided it was
time to roll from your back to your tummy. You are so clever little
man, now that you have rolled over I know that it won't be long until
you start crawling and then walking.

Today we spent some of the morning meeting up with some people mummy
had been talking to on the computer. We went to a playcentre and while
their children played you showed the girls how strong you are in tummy
time. After we finished at the play centre we looked at baby clothes
in a nice shop and I bought you a new top and some cute shoes. This
afternoon you were exhausted from your busy morning and slept from two
to four thirty. I was going to take you for a swim but by the time you
woke up it had cooled too much for you so instead we had our first
bath together.

Tomorrow we will be taking your first trip to the beach and if it's
warm enough we will go for a swim in the rock pools.

I love you little man
Mummy.
