"They're home in New York in their apartment and I stopped in last night after a business trip and I got to see her when she was about 36 hours old — she is very alert and doesn't cry. Ideal baby...I'm happy for Alexis that she doesn't cry...and she is eating well and doing all her natural things and she's cute and she has Lexie's pouty little mouth. Very, very lovely child."
