Rose's First Christmas

Rose got to go to four family Christmases this year.  And while she may be too young to enjoy opening presents, she loved being held by everyone.

 Rose has also really started interacting with people and her toys.  She loves watching her mobiles move and having conversations with them.

Rose's new activity mat - not very active right now!

Not a big fan of the headband.

YAY CHRISTMAS!!!

Don't worry Rose, Uncle Ken is keeping an eye on Uncle Josh

One Month Old!

Rose turned one month old on Friday the 2nd.  She's really grown a lot in the past month.  She has started to smile and laugh, and will even make cooing noises from time to time.  The other day she discovered that she can control her hands, and she was just fascinated watching them move around in front of her.

Rose is also awake and alert more of the time now.  She loves listening to and following people and things, and her neck is strong enough to do so... most of the time.  Her "best friends" are the bears that make up her mobile, and she loves following them as they move and listening to the song they play.  Sometimes she even talks back to them!
