Never wake a sleeping baby

Unless she's mysteriously snoozey at 10pm and her usual bedtime of midnight means neither you nor she will wake for about 10  hours.  She may well be proof that early to bed means early to rise, although that sort of behaviour will be explained only by a rogue gene mutation.

Well, at least being up at 4am gave me the impetus to finally start a blog - the General has long suggested he feels selfish being the primary recipient of my ravings, and I think he fears Beautiful Girl will be similarly afflicted.  It is lkely to be far worse for her as she is a while away from crawling, let alone politely backing away with a nervous smile.  I'm not sure how good I'm going to be at this blogging thing, but for the next few months (I'm probably being optimistic, make that years) it's likely to be one handed, so please bear that in mind when you're judging me.

Messers Fisher and Price

Well, I presume they are gents, since I know FP has been around a long time and we ladyfolk generally aren't given too much credit in the naming departments.  Anyway, I'm having some mixed emotions about these fellows this morning.  My initial delight at their lovely baby chair/rocker thing which Beautiful Girl just adores and had lulled her into a good drowsy state has been tempered by the scary monster noises that are emitted from their homepage.  Said noises caused an impressive screeching session from a very placid and sleepy baby.  Luckily she takes after her Dad and nodded off again rather rapidly.  Phew, another trauma averted by the magic shoulder.
