Eleven weeks and one day

I shouldn't laugh, but Alice's latest antics are reminding me overwhelmingly of the 'drinking problem' gag from Airplane - she is learning to suck her fingers but doesn't reliably remember how to do it yet, and frequently ends up mashing her fist into her eye or ear instead, then looking slightly puzzled. I must say it will be a great boon to her parents when she masters it properly, as we won't have to spend hours in uncomfortable postures while holding a dummy in her mouth to keep her happy any more.
