Fourteen Months Old...

...and full of energy!  She plays hard (just look at the bruise on her forehead), dances whenever she hears music, loves to look at books and just last week began "reading" out loud.  She adores Milan and tries to follow and do everything her big sister does.  She walks around "talking" on her phone and loves to wear bracelets.  Whenever anyone in the house starts to sing, she likes to join along.  She's definitely not an even-tempered baby, but when she is happy she's a little snuggler and very affectionate.  And as you can tell by the photos, she does not like to cooperate when it comes to having her picture taken!

Gone.....Today Paloma fell asleep while eating her lunch.  Mid-chew, really.

She didn't even wake up when I scrubbed the hummus from her hair, face, and fingers.

My sweet little angel.

Happy Valentine's Day

 

Life At Our House

Milan requesting to play the "dancing game", wearing her princess dress...these days, this is a scene you will see frequently at our house.  A bonus--if you listen closely, you can hear James in the background, belting out an Elton John tune while doing dishes (something that is NOT frequent...the dishes, I mean).  He doesn't know he's being recorded.  :)

Cabin Fever

This past week was another cold, stormy week.  This time we were hit with ice, so not a lot of time spent outside.  Which means Mommy has to come up with things to do, to keep her two daughters occupied.  Like painting.

Making butterflies and people out of hearts

Playing with the indoor playhouse.  I don't bring this out regularly, but when I do, it's a big hit.

Paloma playing with the kitchen.  She likes to bring me food and hear me noisily eating.

And of course getting into her big sister's favorite toys, especially when Milan leaves the room.

Still playing...

Mommy's almost done...then we'll bring out the play-doh!
