Countdown is on! On our final month of one-ness, we are excited to see Paloma move on to more complicated things. She loves to learn people's names and remembers all our family and friend's names. If she doesn't know, she'll ask. She also repeats words heard in conversation, and makes 2-3 word sentences. Like lots of toddlers, one of her favorite words is "No". Now when will that change?

She likes to put things in order. Here she put her little critters in a row facing the same direction. Now to let her organize the shoes!
I forgot that toddlers like to stack things...until I turned around one day and Paloma had made a 9-block tower. Steady now, steady....
We can't quite put on shoes yet, but this is a step.We're also working on our arts and crafts. Here Paloma helps make her little heart-shaped pocket.
Her what? Yes, a pocket she can wear around her neck to collect things. It feels good to craft again!
Coloring is also fun. Now if only she'd stop rubbing her crayons on everything around the house.
This would have looked real had her baby doll's feet been tucked away and not sticking out. Right?
We're on to playdough now...ahem, homemade, thank you very much. We can't make much more than a ball, but an elephant is next ;-)
I don't really allow eating breakfast and watching TV, but we couldn't miss the wedding of the decade. Go, Will and Kate!
This is probably imitation of a bad habit of mine. Breakfast and checking email. Oops!

And lastly, I'm getting to find Paloma more and more useful around the house. Here our superchef is making a salad.
It was lovely having you!

Paloma has the sweetest face. I can't believe she'll be 2 in a month! The "no" thing lasts for awhile I remember James would shake his head "no" to everything! I love the breakfast/checking email pic - that was hilarious!
