You make my life complete .”
She called Phoenix a ‘priceless gift’ in her message.
Paris' message to her son continued: "Every day with you is a priceless gift, and I’m endlessly grateful to be your mommy. Celebrating your first of many birthdays, Baby P – here’s to a lifetime of laughter, love, and wonderful adventures with our cutesie crew! ✨ Happy 1st Birthday! "

A slew of never-before-seen photos ensued.
In her Instagram post, Paris gifted fans with all-new photos of baby Phoenix from the past year. The third picture showed Paris, dressed in white with a pink hat, holding her infant son, who wore a white bodysuit and bib. So sweet!
Another photo showed Phoenix smiling in a fuzzy chair.
A particularly precious shot of Phoenix sitting in a fuzzy teddy bear chair followed. The little guy smiled big for the camera while wearing a zip-up doctor outfit and a white beanie. Stuffed animals adorably surrounded him—and he just looks so happy!
A mother-son photo will melt your heart.
Yet another new photo showed Paris sitting on the floor of what looks like a nursery next to her son. Phoenix, meanwhile, enjoys a ride-on unicorn while looking at something off-camera. The adoration for her baby boy is evident in Paris' eyes.
Phoenix is one cool dude in this new picture.
Phoenix rocked a pair of tiny shades in another picture Paris posted. In the shot, her little guy is strapped into his car seat while wearing a cap and sunglasses. Once again, his toothless smile steals the hearts of all.
The fuzzy chair makes a return.
Phoenix must really love his fuzzy chair! In another picture, Paris' pajama-clad son sweetly looks at the camera while sitting in the soft chair. It must be close to bedtime because Phoenix looks less energetic than in previous photos.
Yeehaw! Phoenix is a cowboy.
The teddy bear chair strikes again! In this photo, Phoenix is wearing a cowboy-inspired outfit with a cowboy hat. And it looks like Paris snapped the picture right before he yanked off the hat.
Paris expressed birthday love on TikTok, too.
