Pick of the Litter

What is it with Russian babies wanting to pick my nose? My new friend Alex couldn't quite put her finger on what was making me cry.

The Real Slim Shades-y

Finally got a pair of shades that actually fit me. Although they kinda make me look like a librarian, don'tcha think?

The Great Eldini

OK, we have sunk to a new low. Daddy is now filming me through the monitor. Apparently, he thought it would be fun to watch me try to escape from my miracle blanket.

Part 1 clocks in at a cool 4:17 before Daddy decides to cut it off, thinking he'll just discard this and start a new vid showing the great escape...



Sure enough, 30 seconds in to Part 2, Ellie pulls off the feat, forcing Daddy to post both vids to show the chronology and build the suspense...

I Want To Hold Your Hand

Leo J's got some competition! Met Tyler Schilt today and he swept me off my feet -- well, ok, I was never on my feet but you get my point. He was such a gentleman, holding my hand and making me feel like the princess that I am. As you can see, I was a little nervous and not sure how to react. And the thought of a jealous Leo Spiegel coming to beat up Tyler made me cry.



After I calmed down, Tyler starting poking me so I shot him the moon.



My future mother-in-law Jenny had us pose for a future family portrait.

Ate at Ed's

Had lunch at Ed Debevic's today with Chris and Sarah. Wished I had my sunglasses on to protect my eyes from the glare of Sarah's humungo rock. Nice work Chris!

Can't believe I escaped without Daddy making me wear that stupid hat. Chris and Sarah took the bait though. Hats off to them for playing along. No, really, guys... hats off. You're embarassing me!

Shot in the Dark

Went to the doctor for my 2 month check-up today. Weighed in at 10 pounds 2 ounces (25-50th percentile), 23 inches long (75th percentile), and my head measured 14 3/4 inches around (10-25th percentile). So I'm tall and skinny with a small head -- shaping up just right for America's Next Top Model.

The doc shot me up 4 times with various immunizations. I was NOT happy. After a couple hours of crankiness, Mommy dosed me up with some baby tylenol and I passed out on Bubbie. Not sure why she waited so long. Maybe she thought I'd just tough it out. That was a long shot.

In Like a Lion, Out Like a Cub

Got all dolled up for my first Cubs game today. Dress courtesy of cousin Sarah and hat from the Miretskys (Brian cameos in this video). Inspiration drawn from Uncle D and Almost Aunt T.



Daddy made sure everyone knew I was a rookie with a pink sign on the Baby Bjorn.



It was pretty chilly in the shade. Bubbie kept me warm under her coat. Luckily the Cubs bats were hot.



Can't understand why everyone's so skeptical about the Cubs chances of winning the World Series. They've been in first place for pretty much my whole life!



We took off after the 7th inning stretch. The Cubbies ending up winning their 7th in a row. I must be good luck. World Series here we come!
