If it walks like a duck...

There is a proverb that says, "If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, then it is probably a duck."

We are no longer sure that the proverb is right. 


Paloma waddles like a duck and sometimes she even quacks like a duck (particularly when she sees Semilla and gets really excited).

I think she is quite proud of her new waddling efforts:

whoops (looks familiar?)

After work today, she helped me pick up all of the little bits of mulch that come in from the back yard, then carried them over and put them in the flowerpot. Already, she likes cleaning up around the house!

And then she helped us decorate the Christmas tree. She carried an ornament over to the tree and waved it around in front of the branches. Very helpful.

[Not so helpful when we tried to remove the ornament from her little hands.]
