Paloma turns six months today. It's amazing to see a baby get smarter, cuter and funnier as each week passes. Am I a proud and doting parent? You betcha!
Since she's hit the six month mark, it was time for her to join the family meals and get a highchair. Why are they so expensive? We went the economical route and headed to Ikea yesterday. Chair and tray - 17 euros. Cha-ching!

Paloma checked out the specs on this thing before we bought it. Good construction, she says.
Who was there at Ikea to greet the kiddies? Santa, of course! What do you think - is he convincing enough?
Lesson learned. We will never go to Ikea by public transportation carrying a load of things and waiting for a bus for 20 minutes. In 40 degree weather where you have to bundle your kid with multiple layers that she can barely bend an arm. And with a kid who missed her nap and screams on the bus on the way back. EVER. I'm over it! But the trip was worth it though. Look how happy she is in her new chair. Now somebody spoon feed this kid some solids!
On another note, today marks the three-year passing of my grandmother, Paula Valdez Ancheta. She was a spectacular woman who spoiled her grandkids and cracked us up along the way. A prayerful, beautiful soul, that lady. This is Fer with her in September 2006.
On our recent trip, my family and I paid a visit to the beautiful Cypress Lawn.
Little P says hi to great grand P.
How beautiful is the cycle of life?
