It sounds like you've definitely got her interest(which is good). You're clearly still doing these things to get a reaction. I think in the beginning of DB that's what it generally is about for people. This is a marathon though. Don't let on like her reaction matters to you. From reading your posts, I don't think your W has much respect for you right now. Ultimately your goal is to detach in a healthy manner; to become confident in who you are. I think you should probably avoid comments that indicate that you are still looking for her approval. For example, implying that she can't give you what you want for Xmas I think showed some weakness. Overall though, I think you're doing great! And, there are definitely good signs. Keep it up, but don't do it for her. Do it for yourself.
