Tina Fey talks about the 'amazing joy of having a child'

Alice is singing a lot and dancing.  She just discovered raisins. She’s eating a lot of raisins. 

Tina's 30 Rock co-star Scott Adsit says the mother-daughter dynamic between Tina and Alice is different -- but "not in a bad way."  Tina, whom Scott describes as "very doting," nonetheless "expects a lot from Alice." Fortunately, Scott says, the toddler is "up to the task."

I think Alice likes her — in a way every kid does their mother — being goofy and silly. It’s funny to hear her talk to her. I never hear her doing baby talk to Alice. I always hear her talking to her like she’s a peer. That’s kind of cool.

Motherhood caught Tina somewhat off-guard, the 37-year-old actress admits.

I was never a pet owner — I’m allergic to all kinds of animals — so I didn’t even have that middle step of ‘you love your dog and your dog brings you joy.’ I went right from nothing to this amazing joy of having a child. I didn’t take the ramp up by way of yellow lab.

Alice is the first child for Tina and her husband Jeff Richmond.
