We found out in September that this will be Tyler Lee's last full year as an only child and although I'm delighted to be adding to our family, I'm also a teeny bit sad that it won't just be myself and my little prince on our adventures anymore. Does the mummy guilt ever end? He's become so attached to me since I've told him about the baby - he follows me everywhere, is always wanting to be on my lap and is always giving me cuddles, I'm sure he's afraid that I'm going to forget him, the poor dote. I could never forget my little angel man!
This year we had lots of adventures by the sea, were surrounded by fields of flowers on more than one occasion, Tyler Lee celebrated his second birthday and began playschool in January - he's now in junior pre-school since September, we had a gorgeous Easter outdoors in the sunshine and Tyler Lee made friends with the new lambs, we visited Jersey twice, he got to see all his grandparents again even though three of them live abroad and we had lots of fun days out together as a family.
2015 has been kind to us and that's something I've very grateful for. Now that we're on the cusp of 2016 I've been thinking of what I'd like to do with my boy in the new year. I want to begin taking more pictures of him again, I've really been slacking on this since October. I think I'll take part in the weekly Living Arrows linky again. I want to continue with our outdoor adventures and spend as much time outside as possible again. I want our 2016 collage to be as colourful as the one above. Ultimately I just want my son to be happy and healthy and making great memories in what will be the third year of his life, if I can achieve those things then I'll be one very happy mummy indeed.
I've enjoyed seeing all the beautiful photos of your son. Congrats on the new arrival that will be joining your family this year.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry too much. While Tyler Lee is sure to be a tad jealous of the new baby at first, I bet he will love being a big brother :)
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see pictures of Tyler lee I am always jealous of his curls so beautiful just like his parents.
ReplyDeleteAwww, your son is so cute! And you take amazing pictures of him! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new upcoming arrival! I am sure he knows that you will always be there for him. He has gorgeous hair!
ReplyDeleteAwww what a cutie. I use to do one of these for each of my kids every single year to see how much they've grown but over the years I noticed I've taken less and less photos of the kids. I think it's because as they get older they don't sit still long enough for me to even snap photos of the little buggers.
ReplyDeleteHe is just adorable, he looks like a porcelain doll (and yes, those curls)! Congrats on baby #2, I bet he'll be a great big brother. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't get over that hair...how adorable!! I'm sure your son will be great with the new baby!
ReplyDeleteHe is such a cutie pie! Enjoy these early years! My kids are 2 and 4, and time seems to fly by so quickly. Take plenty of pictures to keep these memories alive!
ReplyDeleteI completely know the feeling! I'm due with #2 in 7 weeks, and I'm a bit worried about my 2yo and how she's going to deal with it. I just keep reminding myself that it's a totally normal thing, and eventually she will love her baby sister!
ReplyDeleteAww, what a cute roundup! He is so cute -that curly hair just kills me! Congrats on your new addition!
ReplyDeleteAh he sounds like a sweetheart. My three year old just turned four. His baby chub is slowly disappearing, and there are no future babies to cuddle for me. I'm ok with that though, hopefully 2016 has some excitement in store for us.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have gone on some great adventures together! Those pictures are beautiful! Mommy guilt is the worst. We can be so hard on ourselves.
ReplyDeleteYour son is super cute! Sounds like you've had a great year and even greater things are in store for 2016 for your family!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous photos! Its so funny to see how he's gone from baby to boy in just a year, you really don't notice it until you compare photos do you!!! So precious :) What an exciting year 2016 will be for you! x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new baby! I totally understand that feeling. Before my second child was born I think I cried for a week wondering how I could give 2 children my love but everything just fell in place and I am so blessed with my two. I barely remember what it was like with just one.
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing new year!
Your son is so cute and Congrats on baby #2!
ReplyDeleteTyler looks awesome. You had a lot of great plans for the 2016 and I am quite sure you can do it!. Just do it one step at a time :)
