More Alice

More pictures. This is Alice's Sunday outfit (well, for last weekend anyway). She was the best dressed three week old in church. She's starting to be a bit more alert during the day. She's not alert just at the moment though. P has just woken her for an afternoon feed. Sadly, Alice is having other ideas and is trying to continue sleeping.

Just to make all you parents of non-sleeping three year olds jealous, Alice slept from 10pm until 7.30am last night. I woke at about 6am and wondered if I'd slept through her crying for half the night; or worse, that I'd done a feed and forgotten all about it. P confirmed, however, that she simply hadn't woken. Long may it continue.

Bath - without crying (much)

We went to church on Sunday. We felt this was quite an achievement. Fortunately, Alice played along pretty well, she didn't call us out of the service to the baby crèche. She was, on this occasion at least, the youngest one there. We dressed her up for the big bad outside as you can see in the pic. As you'll recall though, the weekend was the beginning of summer. So, it all soon came off again.

Alice is also starting to get a more healthy attitude to bathing. She managed to have a bath (with Daddy in charge) yesterday with only a small amount of crying. Pics below of the clean Alice, not crying!

Doctor Who

In the midst of all these baby posts, here is something else very exciting! I received this David Tennant autograph in the mail from some of Pauline's University friends, who live in Cardiff. They got it when the Doctor Who team came to film at their house. They even had the TARDIS parked outside.

Incidently, I get annoyed by all those people (BBC included) who talk about the current Doctor Who series as "series 3". Forgive me for being a bit pedantic, but Doctor Who has been running for a substantial number of years before 2005. It began in 1963, no less. It ran every year until 1989. So, you could call this Doctor Who run "series 30". I prefer that.

David Tennant is the tenth "Doctor". Did you know that in the original series, Time Lords were limited to twelve regenerations. I wonder if they will find a way around that...

(Is this sounding a bit sad??)

Anyway, a few baby photos to finish up.

Good crier now

She was a bit quiet on day one, but a few minutes of nappy changing yesterday proved very unpopular. Not the first time she'd really cried but a good photo example.
