I know that every mum (and dad!) will tell you this, but you will not believe how fast the first year of your baby's life will flash before you're eyes. It was only a second ago I was holding him in my arms for the first time & now he's dancing to the theme tune of Peppa Pig while munching on a breadstick... where has my tiny baby gone?!

We decided to throw little L a little party at Party & Playland by Splash & Bounce on Bay Avenue. The venue is the perfect size for a first birthday, they have 1 hour of soft play & then head upstairs for fun & games in the party room, followed by lunch & cake.

We attempted to do some sort of cake smash with the remainder of the cake but he was more interested in playing with the balloons than the cake....
