Post-Chanukah wrap-up



Chanukah was a good time for Noam. It started off with a trip to the zoo with Eema and Daddy. Noam really enjoyed it, particularly the penguins and the elephants. He pointed and said, "hi!" to many of the animals...




The lion made him a little nervous, and the hippo was exciting in theory (because we love hippos) but stayed in the water the whole time, which was a little disappointing. Probably his favorite part was being able to run around in big open spaces...




...which he did until we told him it was time to go home. At which point he started to run in the opposite direction (away from the exit), so we had to pick him up and haul him out. Here we are waiting for the bus to take us home!




Another highlight of the holiday was the book that Aunt Debra sent. It's all about babies ("bebeee!"), dogs (woof! woof!) and a few other topics that are hard to reproduce in writing (Noam's ability to babble has reached new heights). Suffice it to say that he spends a lot of time reading it!




What's next on the agenda for Noam? Well, Bubbe and Aunt Debra are coming to visit, which is very exciting. Also, his friend Ariel ("ayeeah!"), who has been away in America, is coming back this week. He's got at least one more tooth coming in. And no, we are not letting his hair grow on purpose - hopefully he will be getting his first haircut sometime in the very near future. We'll keep you posted!

Noam! I'll be there so soon. Then we can read books together. And talk about penguins. And shoes. And ships.
