February 14th and Valentines day meant that the only gift in the house was for Alex and it was from Carolyn. A little carrot cake, cup cake!

There was a lot more playing than eating, infact I don't think Alex ate more than a couple of crumbs.

After a few licked fingers and cake flung everywhere the cup cake was gone. After the mess Alex had to go upstairs for a bath and change of clothes!

Later on in the day Alex was back to the usual standing and holding onto things moving around the place.

There were a few times when she let go and balanced for a short while. As usual Mum was close by to soften any falls.

Before bed Mum read to Alex from the new book called "Tickle Monster".



After each page turn Alex got the heck tickled out of her by Mum which was a lot of fun (for Mum!)
