Feliz Undécimo Cumplemes!

The past month has been huge for Paloma. Development speed has increased fivefold! She can wave "hi" and "bye". She can play "Fetch" with a soft ball (only she gives it to us with her hand, not her mouth!) She can do the very first gestures when we sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider". Must I babble on? Here are the highlights...

Pulling herself up on the crib rail. She has an incentive: getting a view of the city through the window.
A few days later. Standing. Cake. Next!
She's rejected being spoonfed. Unless it's creamy yogurt, then she jumps in her seat. So now she's a pro at hand feeding herself and loves to feed us too.
Practicing with a spoon.
Standing up is hours of fun.
Sharing a conversation with Pau about how cool standing is.
Pau and his daddy.
We got to steal our nephew to see how it would feel having another kid. Not bad!
Aliens with triangular snouts recently invaded.
Sound of the month: obsessive razzing noises. The joy. Of successfully placing an object where she wants it. Simple pleasures. Squeal!
I've started to take P to playgrounds. Instant hit! Who would have guessed?
I think summer is finally here. Park time!
Picnics everyday!
Next month is the big one. Uno! Byeeeeee!
Wait -- one last riveting video.

ha HA ha...that zurbert video is a riot! I love how in the beginning she almost looks like she is conducting herself! Who needs a spoon when ya got toes! ps. I think those triangle snout aliens are invading for the summer they must have landed in Spain first! Good news is that I think they can be bribed with yogurt.

Oh she has grown so much! She is doing so many new things and she's absolutley darling! I love the video. I guess Mamma has a lot more free time now that she can humor herself just fine! ;)
