Herm. I don't know how loud Alex is, but when you say "running around" and I'm thinking "toddler", I can't imagine she's really all that loud.
I do sympathize, really, truly, and honestly, with the neighbor. If there was some way to help (a particular room Alex could run around in), I'd call that perfectly reasonable. But I think the problem is that her lightest sleep is coming just as the greatest amount of noise is showing up. If that noise isn't unreasonable, then I don't think she has grounds to complain. I think it's her problem to deal with. It's worth you helping in reasonable ways, just to be neighborly, but not out of obligation.
