This year I am joining in with What the Redhead Said‘s project Living Arrows which is all about celebrating childhood.
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”
-Kahlil Gibran
Each week I will be posting a picture of Dexter showing what we have been up to or something new he has learnt.
As promised last week, this week’s Living Arrows is all about Dexter’s cake smash which we did on his birthday last Saturday. We had a lovely party at home with family and set up our own cake smash. Dexter very carefully used his hand to take small and deliberate bites of the moist chocolate cake before crawling off and smearing chocolate icing everywhere! I highly recommend a cake smash, the pictures we captured are amazing. Happy birthday Dexter. We love you so much. To make the day even more special, Dexter learnt to clap too. You may remember a few weeks ago me mentioning I was worried he was behind…well he no longer is! Happy days.

Hope he had a lovely birthday, it's a lovely photo. I've never been brave enough to attempt a cake smash. My youngest turns one on Wednesday and I did consider it but I worried she'd just end up throwing it all over the house! #livingarrows

Luckily we have laminate flooring so it wasn't *too* much of an issue and as soon as he started crawling off, I picked him up and threw him in the bath!

He looks like he's thinking "hurry up mum and take the photo so I can go back to eating cake!" Happy first birthday Dexter!
