Waking Up is Hard To Do



OK, this whole cyber-diary thing has gone a little too far. It's now infringing on my sleep. And NOTHING infringes on my sleep. Daddy thought it would be fun to wake me up just to videotape my funny waking-up faces. Sure, I oblidged cuz I thought he'd let me go back to sleep but then he kept rolling... for over 3 minutes. Sheesh! So I gave him some squeaks and even a snort. Then he launched into a cliched Look Who's Talking bit. It was funny for awhile but then I'd had enough. I believe his line, "Feed Me Clown" was what what put me over the edge. Cue the full-on cry...

Look Who's Talking -- It's Me, Ellie!

Mommy Makes Good Babies

Although "I Make Passed-Out Drunk Babies" might be a little more accurate.

Second Date

Eliara and Leo at CBA


Rekindled things with Leo J today. Our moms chaperoned -- so lame!



CBA

We enjoyed a fine meal at Chicago Bagel Authority. Well, Leo enjoyed a meal. I slept the whole time (still playing hard to get.)

I Believe in Miracles...

Eliara's Miracle Blanket


Here I am enjoying my Miracle Blanket (that's a yawn, not a scream!) Mommy and Daddy use this to keep my flailing arms in check. I'm one step ahead of them though... sometimes I pull a Houdini (no, not that Houdini!) and suck in my stomach when they wrap me up so I have extra room when they're done and can wiggle my arms out of the swaddle.

Driving Ms. Ellie

Eliara in her car seat


Enjoyed a nice drive in the country, er... suffered through maddening rush hour today en route to the grocery store. I didn't notice a thing though. The minute that engine kicks, I'm out like a light -- that's another weird expression... out like a light... shouldn't it be off like a light? It's not like we're using torches anymore. At any rate, what you see here is the view through the car's rear-view mirror. Mommy and Daddy set up a mirror in the back seat so they can quell their paranoia at every turn (literally.)

Have you Googled this little Yahooligan?

Eliara and Daddy - Google vs. Yahoo


Check me out... I'm the #1 ranking on Google for the keyword "Eliara Goldman" and #2 on Yahoo (behind Daddy's site). Not bad for only being 2 weeks old! To show my appreciation, we had search engine dress-up day at the Goldman house. Mommy had to hold the camera so you can't see she's dressed up as the retired Ask Jeeves butler. Now, go warm up my dinner Jeeves!



Ellie All Yodeled Out

Whew. All that search engine optimization really wore me out!
