Tough week

Safta playing hair salon with Noam

Noam watering the flowers (standing on her own, until she realized it of course)
Update: This has been a tough week. Safta left us and the goodbyes were sad. But we will try to think ahead to next time.
Noam's molars are coming in and she is really suffering...a lot of pain. She has a slight fever, a cough and is very crabby, we hope this will pass soon. (for all of us!)

A lot of "firsts" this week...

1st time at the safari... petting the baby goats

Michmoret at sundown
i love my daddy!

I always share...especially my broccoli with safta
"abba!"
First day at gan!
Update: Noam has made great advances in the last 2 weeks. She is trying to say all sorts of different things. She says "wow," "or" and points to the light, "tata"(safta), "Ouwwaa Bo" . She understands almost everything now. When I tell her no, she shakes her index finger, If you ask her where the moon is she'll point that out as well as airplanes or anything else that is in the sky. Of course she'll point out her ears, bellybutton, eyes, nose and mouth, whether you ask in hebrew or english. If you say "kol hakavod" she claps her hands. She tries to sing a long with songs... If you say "all done" she'll start crying cause she wants more food of course, If you ask her to "dance" or "lirkod" she'll start shaking it.. she is simply a JOY!!!!!
She had her first week at Gan, and the ganenet rants and raves about how good she is. She said that she broke records for the amount of cous-cous she ate, and that when they went to the petting zoo that they have on the moshav, while the other kids were hesitant, Noam tried to crawl right in their pen with them. She is so independent, what will be when she is 16??? oye va voy lanu! She refuses to go into the "agalul" with all the other kids as she wants to be free... they can't hold her in their arms for more than a minute as she wants to be free... can't feed her anymore, she wants to do it by herself....She is a regular Freedom Fighter.
We have created a monster...
