shiner

Eliana's had a rough run these past few weeks. There was the projectile diaherria. Then the excessive vomiting over the weekend. The nights where she can't sleep for more than a few hours at time. The fact that she has basically refused all solids and only wants to nurse. And then there's the shiner. Apparently Eliana hurled herself onto the concrete floor yesterday and managed to give herself a gynormous goose egg. I'm not surprised. Little Baby Hercules is hurling herself into everything these days. She even managed to hoist herself out of her exersaucer last night (what we thought was the only secure place in the house....).

But not to worry, little sweetie's on the up and up! She apparently loves spicy thai food and ate up a ton of the deer curry I made last night (I don't know why I ever thought a child of mine would have a bland palette). She thinks cous cous is a gift from the gods and sort of moaned happily through each bite (anyone remember Matt Dillon in "The Flamingo Kid" in that scene at his girlfriend's dinner table? Elie's got that impression down...).

Here she is after a big night of getting into trouble (kind of a mugshot ala Robert Downey Jr., just to reference another hot, 80's icon).
