This always seems to be the busiest month of the year!

Petra advanced in puree-eating:

She sang Grandma Judith “Happy Birthday”

She encountered snow for the first time (didn’t much like it):

She also went for her first swim in the hotel pool while we were in Pittsburgh after Christmas:

Stay tuned for a separate post on Christmas.

The weather was quite warm for much of the month so we got outside a lot. We also started letting Petra explore food.
