Growing and Growing

I am getting bigger and bigger every day. Soon I will need a whole new set of clothes!


Now I like to look at things around me, especially the big Indian tapestry in our apartment. But my favorite thing is still when my Daddy sings me to sleep!

Some people have been asking why I don't write in French. I may work on that soon. But I am waiting for my parents to get me an AZERTY keyboard. Honestly, I can't work under these conditions!

Six weeks old!

My, how time flies. Just yesterday I was a tiny infant, and today I am a slightly larger infant! Here I am with Daddy, looking very sleepy.

My principal occupation right now is grabbing things and holding onto them. I like to grab clothes, especially Mabé's scarf and Mommy's shirt. And when Daddy is not wearing a shirt I can grab his skin, which is especially fun. Soon I will be able to hitchhike on any sort of creature, especially furry ones, and not be so dependent on my parents for transportation.

Rainy Weekend

Yesterday I grabbed the ring that holds my ladybug toy and held it for a long time! Once I caught the little bugger I didn't want to let him go. But eventually I had to, and he started flying around again. Today it is harder to practice because there is no heat in my apartment and my parents keep trying to cover my hands to keep them warm.

I have started making new sounds, mostly coos and a few satisfied sighs. I am working up to something more communicative, but my parents are so hopeless at distinguishing between my cries that I am not sure it is really worth it.


In other news, my parents are working on getting a picture of me in which my eyes are actually open. But they are not very skilled at that. Here is my old picture back, by request!

Runaway Bunny

My grandparents bought me a book called "The Runaway Bunny." It is about a bunny that wants to run away from his mother. I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, I think it would be fun to run away. On the other hand, it is pretty nice here in New York. I have a fairly comfortable life, with plenty of things to do, like tummy time and ladybug-watching. But then, Grandma Joan says she would like to kidnap me and take me to California with her. That could be fun. I will have to weigh my options very carefully. I think I will sleep on it.

Noe's Note of the Day

Here I am with my Grandma Joan. She likes to take pictures with me. Do you think I look like her? I am frowning here, which I am already very good at, but I am also working on learning how to smile...but I'm saving it for a day when I am really, truly happy. For this to happen, several conditions must be met. First, I must be very, very full. My mommy had better feed me lots and lots of milk, and she'd better consume some wine and cheese (and not just *any* cheese) before she does it. Secondly, my grandmother had better do a diaper check to make sure my parents have been keeping me properly clean. Thirdly, they'd better dress me in a cute outfit, because I just know everyone will want to take my picture, and I want to look my best. You should see the pictures they took for my passport! Blech!
