Seemingly impossibly, she has become even more smiley and friendly.
She has also become so much more aware of the environment around her and so much more able to interact with others. It was so neat to see her with her cousins over Christmas and since the beginning of the new year. She noticed them and was interested in watching them so much more over Christmas than she had been over Thanksgiving.
She seemed to have a good time smiling at and enjoying their company. Watching them walking around also got her more interested in wanting to stand and try to crawl so that was cool. She'd also yell at her cousins to try to get their attention or talk with them. She especially loved it when her cousin closest to her in age would come over and hang out with her.
Then she's so much more into exploring her world. She used to just look at things. Now she's rolling over onto her tummy or rotating herself all the time to get better views of things or reach things. She is constantly reaching for things and wanting to touch everything. For instance the other day I was just standing holding her near a wall and she reached her hand out to touch the wall. She loves playing with and looking at her toys more too.
She has also been showing an increased interest in her food and spoon. Generally we'll let her play with both after we've finished feeding her.
It was fun to have Christmas with Tessa. She was able to actually open some presents with a bit of help. She is good at grabbing and pulling (a skill honed by regular practice pulling her mom's hair :P) so if we put the present where she could grab the wrapping paper seam, she was could actually pull off strips of wrapping paper. It'll be fun when she understands Christmas a little more and gets excited about it next year.
We love our little pumpkin! She's growing up so fast.
