Something New Every Day

Drea continues to astonish me with how fast she is growing and changing. Her sense of humor is starting to become more advanced now; she tries to tickle and tease people and laughs when she sees something unexpected (like me in my Halloween costume)

She's also been walking more often. She turned around on her feet last week.

Brian takes her out for walks every day. He usually wears her in our Ergo carrier. I go outside with her sometimes too, and I wear her in one of my wraps. She started picking up the Ergo and wraps on Thursday and handing them up to us when she wants to go out for a walk.

Drea has become especially attached to a stuffed animal that looks like a white cat. She calls it "Kitty" and loves to hug it.

Last night we took her to a Halloween party thrown by two of my old high school friends. She loved all the attention she got from people. We forgot to load the stroller in the car, but luckily one of my wraps was in the car or we would've been forced to leave early. The party was outside in a shed, so it wasn't an environment suitable for her to get down. Brian and I both wore her for most of the party. She also loved it when Jeff gave her a cupcake. By the time we left I had to wipe icing off her face and neck. It was everywhere.

Drea loves to get attention from people now. She loves it when we have company or go somewhere like the party and people talk to her. She is slow to warm up at first, but once she's comfortable she is quite a flirt.
