Holiday fun

We're back from our trip back east for the holidays, and we're now trying to recover! We had a great time visiting family and showing off Calla.

Calla managed to learn about 100 new things during the two-week trip - she never ceases to amaze us! She is now very good with her hands and has about a 20% success rate with picking up a cheerio and then getting it into her mouth. She can also roll over both ways, suck on her toes, and babble non-stop: "Gaga", "Baba", "Dada", "Mama", "Calla" (we all swear she can say her name). She seems to have transformed herself from a little (big) baby into a little kidlet.

A couple photos from Christmas day chez Grandmaman:

Calla sucking on ribbons, while everyone else works on unwrapping her new castle.

The castle proved to be even more fun than the ribbons.
