We have spent the past week or so walking around Jerusalem, running errands, familiarizing ourselves with our new neighborhood, and trying to find elusive items like grounded adaptor plugs and organic whole milk. During this process, we have learned some new things about Noam.
1) Noam likes gelatto. Or at least, it is interesting enough to him that he sits up and takes notice. Maybe he's just not used to food on a spoon being that cold. Or maybe its because it was chocolate. Whatever the case, he sort of entered a brief trance-like state after each spoonful.
2) Noam likes french fries (in Israel we call them "chips"). He grabbed some off the table today as we ate lunch out in town, and polished them off before we could think about whether this was a good idea. Though at this point we pretty much let him eat anything, as long as he eats (see #1).
3) Noam is very definite about what he does and does not want to do. Actually, we knew that already. But its become more evident as his use of signing expands. As many of you know, we've taught Noam some sign language, and he can say "all done" with his hands. He used to say "all done" only at the end of meals (or rather, after he had finished four or five bites and was ready to play). Recently though, he has started telling me, after screaming for ten minutes and refusing to go to sleep, that he is "all done" being in his crib, or (as soon as we put him on the changing table) that he is "all done" getting his diaper changed.
We'll post more pictures soon!

Good job Noam! Now tell them that you're "all done" living in Israel and come home to Aunt Debra.
Do you think maybe Noam thinks that the sign for "all done" is actually the sign for "pick me up"? Because that's what we do when he's done eating.
