How much is that Doggy in the window?

The one with the slobbery tongue?


Noah met Molly, a black lab puppy . . . He was quite taken with her!
(Molly thought Noah was delicious!)

Why is this Night different from all other Nights?

IT'S NOAH'S FIRST PESACH!!!!!!!

My favorite holiday of the entire year - hopefully it will be Noah's too. We couldn't make a shirt that small, so Dad made Pesach bibs for both Noah and Sam. (Unfortunately, his buddy Sam was sick and couldn't make it - but he will wear it next year). S

I like my Binky

A lot!

We had a big family dinner with our cousins Pietro and Loredanna, who were visiting from Rome . . . Noah had a lot of fun visiting with them!

Jet-setting Grandma comes for a visit!

Grandma came for a visit this weekend - from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon! It was too short - but it was great to see her. She got to play with Noah AND she made him yummy waffles (the real kind - not Eggo like we give him)! We can't wait to see her again.

"First Contact"

Noah embarked upon his first true communicative act the other day - shaking his head "No" when I was trying to feed him. In the context that it was in, it was very, very clear what he meant! I immediately violated the "Prime Directive" several times by interferring with his newfound autonomy and trying to get him to eat a few more spoonfuls (but mostly because I just wanted to see him shake his head "no" again). Hey Ma, don't you know that "No" means NO??? (I guess not, sorry kid).

(We'll try to catch it on tape next time . . .!)

Noah and his Great-Nana

Noah was very happy to sit with Nana at Ian's 30th birthday party - and Nana was very happy to hold him!

Noah hangs with baby Martin

Although baby Martin is clearly not such a baby these days . . .(It was funny to have Noah be the older kid for once).
