Hannigan: 'My baby plays tricks on me'

Alyson Hannigan has revealed that her 9-month-old daughter plays tricks on her.

The American Pie actress, who gave birth to Satyana Marie with husband Alexis Denisof in March, said that her baby will do anything it takes to avoid going to sleep.

Hannigan told Working Mother magazine: "She plays jokes on me when I try to put her to bed. This one time, I told her that 'It's time for bed' and she has to go to sleep.

"She put her head down when I said the word 'sleep' and as soon as I got to the door, she would prop herself up and start laughing. She did this at least 12 times.

"There's so much that happens the first year. I could watch her all day long, just to see her discovering new things... I'm so fascinated by her.

"It's just the most rewarding aspect of my life so far. All the cliches are so true. I just love her so much."
