How is she growing: Yes, I noticed that she is becoming much more social lately. Not only will she tolerate attention from others, but she even initiate it. Diantha thrives with our attention and is learning how to engage with us. As she masters more physical skills, from lifting her head and shoulders off the ground to extending her arms and legs and arching her back, she also seek our attention by wriggling or making noises before crying. Over the next three months, Diantha will develop her own way of letting us know what he thinks, wants, and needs.
