When Eva gets out of bed, the first thing she wants is her breaky, then she wants out of her high chair. Its the next bit thats funny. She just goes sort of nuts. High speed crawling and loud exclamation sounds which intersperse constant chatter. She does it every day. Its very funny.

That's great. Very cute! You should be videoing this for posterity since it's such predictable behavior.

Reminds me of our son when he was about 18 months. Except when he would wake up, he would scream and cry inconsolably for about ten minutes and absolutely nothing would help him. But after ten minutes, he'd be fine. I still don't know what that was all about.

This is one of the cutest stages ... when a child has his/her own language, some motor independence, and you get to watch this little person explore and discover. Enjoy!

Ywah, kids and animals are all in the same social group. lol

After her daytime nap Eva likes to be carried to a certain chair which she likes to sit on with you. From there, she will get down and go her own way. If you try doing it some other way, she gets the shits. Shes a very bossy baby.

I am a Nielsen Family of one.

I got an envelope from the Nielsen family. Enclosed was two crisp one dollar bills! I used it to help buy cigs when I hadn't been to the bank for a couple days. Thanks, Mr and Mrs Nielsen!

We were a Nielsen family for a week about 20 years ago, and they only gave us $1 then.

It's funny that they upped it. $1 was a laughable amount back then for everything they wanted us to fill out. It was just the token gesture so we would feel obligated to do the work. I wonder if they did studies that people today won't feel obligated if you pay the $1 but they will if you pay them $2.

That was just a fore-runner business practice that the social media have jumped upon.
The $ gave the Nielsen company ownership of your responses.

FaceBook, Google, etc., have since done the same thing,
but they just declared their ownship, and skipped the $ part.

We did it just last year. All we had to do was wear a monitor when we were awake. IIRC, it paid like $10 for signing up, $20 after 1 month, and $30(?) at the end of 3 months for each of us.
