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.

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!

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. |

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! |

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. |

I don't know. I really did feel an obligation to fill it out, because of the TWO BUCKS. But it was online and really quick. They didn't even really ask me much about TV. They asked if anyone in my house had a working cell phone, is there a working landline, am I Hispanic...but asked for a phone number and email in case they deem me worthy of further exploration.
I didn't like giving my phone number but if I don't know who's calling I don't answer anyway. They can leave a message if they want. |

We were the radio equivalent about 7 or 8 years ago. There was a dollar or two in each envelope at several steps in the process: first notification where we agreed to do it, then when they sent us the booklets to fill out, then some reminder halfway through the week to make sure we hadn't forgotten about it, then maybe another one after we were done. I think stretching the money out like that was probably pretty effective for them.
