Beatrix has really changed since last Christmas.
Then she was a little baby.
She couldn't really walk or talk. She took it all in wide eyed.
Here she is now:
Running, talking, wily, and wildly exploring the world.
She interacted with the toys she was given today in ways even I didn't expect. She showed new dexterity building with the blocks, and made up little scenes and interactions with the cloth doll-house of bunny-people.
We had a lovely little Christmas here. It left my imagining the pleasures of next year.
