Hey to the ho! Oh yes, the moment is here. Accept no imitations! Paloma version 2.5 has arrived! We've reached the high point of toddlerhood, the pinnacle, the apex, if you will. Or maybe not? At this point, that means Paloma often says "Paloma can do it" or "I can do it myself". As she discovers her new independence and becomes her own little person, she's also better at communicating what she wants. The wheels are a-turnin'! The other day, I said, "We'll go the store tomorrow," and she said, "Tomorrow is always a day away, mommy?" As in, the lyrics to one of her favorite songs...she made a joke! Haha!
Her mind works in other interesting ways now as it's evident that she's a full-on bilingual, speaking mostly to me in English and to her father in Spanish. A few weeks ago, I asked her to translate some nouns from English to Spanish and vice versa, which she did. We're learning a lot about the developing brain. It's true - they are sponges!
This month, we've also spent a lot of time indoors, seeing that the cold has hit us. Or maybe it's my excuse for doing Christmas crafts at home since I had visions of crafting with my then-future daughter while I was pregnant. Either way, on to the show!

Paloma loved decorating her little tree.
Trying to space them out before they go in the oven.
Putting glitter on them the next day. (Also just a gratuitous pigtails shot. Hehe.)
She has great concentration when it comes to small details, like making this snow wreath made of cotton balls.
Even though it's been cool, the sun has been out most days, which helps my mood SO much. We were also able to go to the beach and enjoy some paella with our friend Angel.
We also took a weekend trip to Sevilla, Fernando's hometown to see Fernando's parents.
Back at home cooking and grinding a chocolate bar.
If I don't get to blogging before the big holiday, we want to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
