Noah

Noah has been having a lot of fun lately. As you may have seen on the videos, he likes music and coloring, and still loves reading his books by himself or with Mommy or Daddy. His favorites are the lift-the-flap variety and scratch-and-sniff. He is head-over-heels in love with the teddy bear we received gratis from the Ritz Camera shop (appropriately named "Mr. Ritz"). He even likes to feed his bear. He pretends to scoop something with a little spoon, then puts it up to Mr. Ritz's mouth. Too cute.
Noah loves pictures. We are making the place feel like home, and have just put some pictures of family and friends on our fridge. They, along with a mini-album Grandma made him as a farewell gift, are an endess source of smiles.
Funniest thing I've seen in a long time:
Noah laughing at mannequins. He likes to laugh with all the tienda-owners who think he is cute, so naturally when he encountered a mannequin with an open-mouthed smile, he reciprocated. And he didn't stop! He just kept giggling, eagerly waiting for his new plastic friend to play along. Our little toddler is such a joy.
