Sleep.
The doctor gave us some ideas of how we should be doing it, and we tried it...and it worked. We've been putting Alice in her crib (yup, no more sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's room) somewhere between 7-9 p.m., and she's been sleeping through the night. (With a few feedings here and there), but the last few nights have had 5-6 hour stretches. It's a HUGE break for Jaime, who's been brought to tears by long nights of fussyness and feedings, and nice for me--as it will allow me time at night to get back on the freelance wagon (that is currently rolling along at a pretty good pace).
We went to an art opening at the FIRST AMENDMENT gallery (the gallery in the print studio I'm part of, along with Burlesque of North America, Amy Jo and others), and Alice slept the whole time. I guess she didn't feel like talking to anyone, and Mike's DJ skills were tailor-made for baby meditation.
When we got home, Jaime fed her quick, and now she's sound asleep. Yay! Can this become routine? I sure hope so. Three days in a row gives me hope.
Jaime and Alice were hanging out today (while I was at work), and Velcro decided to be friends with Alice. When she got near, Alice waved her arms around (like she does...I guess she doesn't quite have control over them yet), and that was close enough to petting for Velcro. Photo attached.

She totally looks like daddy right there!
nothing amazing from the doctor other than..."you shouldn't be up until 3 or 4 a.m. every night." and we were like, "really?"
i may have posted too soon. Alice is being nice and fussy tonight. she's slept for a bit, but is currently up.
i hope she ends up looking more like Mommy, but yeah, she does look a lot like me right now.
