4/6/06 - Little Daredevil

Eva is 10 months old already! I can hardly believe it’s already time to start planning her first birthday party! Her little personality is shining through more each day, and her adventurous spirit is pretty much fearless. We've discovered that she's somewhat of a daredevil. She loves it when we toss her above our heads or tip her upside down. Dave likes to take her stroller off-roading and pop wheelies with her clutching on for dear life, and she thinks that's the greatest. She loves it when we push her in the shopping cart and let her roll away from us, pretending she's in a runaway cart. When she gets excited, she'll scrunch up her face, purse her lips like a little fish, squeal and wave her arms wildly. When she’s really thrilled, she’ll tense up rigidly and tremble with pent-up excitement.

She has started pulling herself up on things, so we have to be on guard against little spills. She's already given us a couple scares by trying to follow us down the stairs when we forgot to put the gate back. Our cat, Rebel, has found that Eva's toys are a lot more fun than his, especially the plastic balls that bounce on the kitchen floor. He likes to chase them late at night when there's no competition, and sometimes we can hear them rolling on the tile downstairs and hitting the furniture. Eva is no less fascinated with his cat toys, fake mice, and food and water dishes. We finally built a shelf to keep them out of reach.
