Here she is pretending to be asleep in her cot. She pretends to snore, which is what she is doing here.
Alice's last time in a cot!!!
Thankfully we had a cotbed and so all we had to do was take off the sides and lower the bottom end and she was all ready. With a new pillow and duvet she was all set to see how she would fair in her bed.
This wasn't her first attempt at escaping which resulted in terrible injuries. She was trying to get off the bed hands first and did a full tumble off the bed. She wasn't too sure at first, but when I just laughed and laughed, she did too. We do have a bed guard which clips on (you can see it leaning up against the wall in the photo above. She's had no problems sleeping in it and actually seems to be sleeping better in it and seems to like having a pillow.
Last weekend was the kite festival. We went along with some friends and Alice had her first taste of ice cream. "Nice"!!!! 
Alice had her first ride on a merry-go-round. I think Daddy was feeling a little bit sick as he doesn't too well with being on things that move. She kind of enjoyed it.
On Sunday we had some visitors from Manchester. Mark, Janette and Sam were up our way for a wedding over the weekend and called in to see us too. Stuart and Mark are friends from Essex, so it was great to catch up with them.We also had Aunty Catherine and Uncle Simon visiting on Monday. They are on holiday near-ish where we live. Alice enjoyed aunty Catherine reading her new book, which they bought for her. Then it was off to the beach.
The weather had been quite cold in the morning and so we thought it was going to be windy and cold at the beach. Nope, it was beautiful and hot too. Aunty Catherine made a little trail for Alice to follow in the sand and at the end there was lots of cheering.
Then some circles were drawn in the sand for Alice to jump into. Alice loves jumping!!!
Alice, aunty Catherine and uncle Simon enjoying the sea, all wishing we'd brought a towel with us, so that we could all go paddling.
Alice really enjoyed having them visit and particularly uncle Simon hiding behind the door when she was having her bath later.
Just a little video of Alice singing to Old McDonald (the book was bought as a present for Alice's thanksgiving service, so the batteries have lasted nearly two years!!!) and then jumping with aunty Catherine and uncle Simon.

Lovely!!! Its great that she loves her new bed, I cant wait to get the extra bedroom so we can do the same.
I'm not surprised. It would drive me round the bend still having Alice in our room.
Forgot to say we sing Old McDonald with Tom and when it comes to "and on his farm he had a........." we pause & he chooses the animal. Well, thats the theory, usually we will get 'sheep or cow or duck or something, but sometimes we get 'shoe, biscuit, fish, trousers' etc. You feel a right idiot singing 'with a trousers here and a trousers there, here a trousers, there a trousers every where a trousers'!!! Earlier on we had 'pig, horse and apple'! Now thats one song Im not getting the camcorder out for!!
Alice is coming on so well Pauline - another milestone reached now that she's in her own bed! Well done Alice for being such a good girl. (quite unlike her mother!)
Eh Charlene, what are you trying to say????!!! I'm a good girl and always have been!!!
Alice used to sing Old McDonald's and it would be Mummy, Alice, baby's, cats etc and why not??!!!
Isnt she getting big - now in her own room and with her own wee bed! Glad she didnt hurt herself when she fell. Amazing you caught it on camera!
Looks like you have had a busy few days with visitors, but the pictures are lovely and she is so cute in the video.I loved the way she was standing back, going to let Simon jump first until he told her to go ahead. I thought that was sooo cute.
I was just thinking that Laura, amazing that Pauline caught it on camera!
She was standing on the bed and I was standing on the other side of the room and she tried to go off the bed hands first. As she leaned more and more the next thing she tumbled right over and did a somersault type thing. I was just standing there taking photos. She lay on the floor unsure whether to cry or not, but I was just laughing and laughing, so she laughed too.
