Pigtails

" Mom...I want pigtails, and I want you to wear them too!"
At the pool on her outing with Saba.

Same day out with Saba

Update: It gets harder and harder to continue with these progress reports because it is just too difficult to keep up with the rate at which she grows.

Noam is just yakin' away, about everything and anything. She says the funniest things, and now we are starting to realize that she was listening all along. (we have to be careful what we say). She has already started her motherly instinct and gives her dolls a bath, feeds them, rocks them to sleep and sings to them "numi." Just in time for the upcoming birth of her sister. She loves to dance, unfortunately she doesn't have anyone in this family to learn from so we are hoping that dancing skills (or lack thereof) skips a generation. We have however created a monster...Noam is a Beach Bum! She is always talking about the beach, the waves, the shells, and wants to go all the time. She is so brave, in the water yelling "GALLIM, GALLIM" Much more brave than her mother that is for sure. After our trips to the beach we continue with an old tradition and go out for Homous. Noam Loves Homous, Tahina, Salad, french fries, falafal, even the pickled spicy salads they make (hamutzim). It amazes us that she eats so much like an adult, doesn't mind the olive oil or the garlic or the onion...anything goes with her. She is simply just so easy to be with as she just adjusts herself to whatever situation.

Potty training is still in progress....but is definately seeing large improvements.

Saba getting his weekly exercise. Thank god for Noam!

Too much Ooga Ooga Ooga and saba and noam get a bit dizzy...

Update: It is now too much to list all the things she says. She is talking up a storm...singing songs and dancing. She can count to five in both languages...soon she will be ready for calculus.

Potty training is still in progress....

Explained to her all about the baby coming, and she kisses my belly and says hello to baby.

She is so loving with her kisses and hugs...we could all learn a little from her!
