Noa Rocks Blue Steel

After a brief hiatus from modeling following the big SI Swimsuit Issue disappointment back in May, Noa Sloan is finally back in front of the camera! What coaxed her out of hiding you ask? Her new personalized pink tick-striped arm chair from Bama and Papa of course!

Seen below taking This Weeks' Favorite Toy for a test run, Noa rocked every pose in her repertoire, all while gnawing on a Zweiback. Maybe next month she'll be challenging Zoolander to a walk off!?!

Happy Birthday Noa, Part 2 of 2

Maybe two parties was a wee bit much, but come on; Noa had A LOT to celebrate! At one, Noa is now standing on her own, dancing, clapping, pointing, and talking up a storm. About every third word is "hi!" or "bye-bye!", but she also says Mama, Dada, happy, clap, and hi-do which is code for Howya doin'? We can't believe how quickly the year went!

Check out the pictures from Noa's New York birthday party on the roof of our apartment building HERE.

Happy Birthday Noa, Part 1 of 2

Noa is such a jetsetter...With an entourage on both "coasts", (the coast of Lake Michigan, of course) she couldn't just have one party to celebrate her upcoming big birthday...So the 1st of 2 raging soirees kicked off last Sunday morning at Bama and Papa's house in Chicago...Noa took down her cupcake with the help of Mom and Dad, even rubbing some frosting in her hair as makeshift hair gel. So ingenuitive of her!

Check out the month 12 gallery on the right for more pics, and stay tuned for Part 2 of Noa's Birthday Celebration this weekend!

My Dad Rocks!

Check out my Dad ripping a sick solo during his cameo with Mugdown last night at R Bar in NYC. Isn't he the coolest?

Lost SI Swimsuit Issue Cover Found??

New pictures of NSB have been released by the publishers of Sports Illustrated in the wake of the Miley Cyrus/Vanity Fair scandal. Photos feature Noa Sloan posing coyly with hairbrush in hand sporting a faux-leather white halter bathing suit with rainbow-colored ice cream cones and pink ruffles.

Sources say it was this pic that was originally slated to be the much coveted 2008 cover shot until SI bigwigs chose to go with sexy over sporty and ultimately went with scantily-clad supermodel Marisa Miller instead.

NSB expressed her disappointment in a rare radio interview on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning. "I'm sad they decided to go in another direction, but I can't say if SI had given me the opportunity to pose on the beach wearing nothing but a diaper and some beads that I would've signed on. I may not be potty trained, but I do have my self-respect!" It was a proud moment for Mom and Dad.

More of the spread from the bathroom, er, cutting room floor below:

An Early Mother's Day Gift for Mom

Noa took her dirty diaper off in her crib today during her afternoon nap. We're posting a before shot of the little devil since we do want people to keep visiting the blog.

Happy Mother's Day!

The Many Faces of Breakfast

The Living Room Sessions

Riding the success of Scorcese's critically acclaimed Rolling Stones documentary Shine A Light, The Daddy Band has hit back by releasing it's own never-before-seen footage of a recent Saturday afternoon jam session in The Living Room.

While lead guitarist Daddy lays the band's main soundtrack, it's tambourine talent Noa Sloan that steals nearly every scene. NSB's energy rivals Jagger's; she bounces, shakes, and sings nearly every song confirming what Mommy's been claiming all along. The girl's a bonafied Triple Threat.

For a sneakpeak of the film, check out the trailer below.

Spring is in the Hair!

Spring is in the air, and Noa is bringing sexy back! So for all you suckas on the scene this spring...consider this your notice. Beware of the Hair!

ADDENDUM: The blog's been compromised! It's been hijacked by Dad, the author of this hysterical post.

Who's Your Daddy?

We've all seen pictures of how much Noa looks like Mommy when she was a baby, but we must admit, Noa is really starting to look more and more like Daddy these days. Today we lifted some old photos of Dad out of Grandma Robin's albums to post on the blog. She's definitely a Benerofe!

Snow Day!

Noa and Mommy are in Chicago visiting Grandma, Papa, Aunt Liz, Uncle Mark and Cousin Meredith. We were supposed to fly home today, but our flight was cancelled due to an early Spring Snowstorm. Taking advantage of an extra day of vacation, Noa put on her snowsuit and played outside in the snow for the first time. Dad is so jealous, we bet he'd be snowboarding down the driveway if he were here! Looks like Noa takes after her Daddy...

Standing Room Only

What's with those Divas and their ridiculous demands?

J-Lo demands her dressing room be outfitted with low-wattage bulbs to ensure she never stumbles into bad lighting.

Mariah makes hotels roll out a red carpet lit with candles for her arrival at check-in.

Streisand insists her M-n-Ms be separated out by color.

But the biggest offender of the bunch? That's right: it's NSB. At the tender age of 8 1/2 months, Noa Sloan will not go ANYWHERE unless she is standing. What's that about?!?

Ever since she learned how to pull herself up from a sitting position, it's all she does. Put her in the crib and what does she do? Pops right back up to standing, face peeping over the guardrail exposing her satisfied grin! Plop her down on the floor and 2 seconds later she's got all 20 pounds balanced on 3 inches of foot, hanging onto the corner of the table for dear life!

Even her entourage confirms her obsession. One handler overheard her shrieking, "NA! NA! NA! NA!" at the top of her lungs after witnessing Mom prying her fingers away from the perilous corner of the kitchen island.

Incriminating pics show NSB bouldering dresser drawer pulls, balancing on a garbage can and playing the piano one handed. She'll probably even fall asleep standing up one of these days!

Noa Talks the Paint off the Wall

ROAD TRIP!!!

We knew it would happen someday, we just didn't expect it so soon! Yep, Noa asked Dad if she could borrow the car. She planned a weekend rager in DC with her buddies Kavi and Oliver and couldn't swing the pricey train ticket unless Amtrak started accepting Puffs as payment. Dad wasn't too thrilled about handing over the keys to his sweet new ride, but they reached a compromise in the end: Mom and Dad had to chaperone the party. So with Noa at the wheel, the whole fam hit the road for a weekend with good friends.

Never one to be called a lightweight, Noa and her underage boyfriends rocked pack-n-play style, doing shots of pureed sweet potato with thumb-sucking chasers. Kavi The Rookie hit the bottle hard and wound up passing out in his crib until sunrise for the first time. Noa partied on without him, smooth talking Freddy the Frog into continuing the party in her crib. Scandalous!!

Giggle-Puss

It was a typical afternoon on the living room couch. Noa and Mommy were winding down after a long hard day of Target trips, Whole Foods runs and eating plastic toys.

Usually, Noa cuddles up to Mommy's shoulder, sucks her thumb and watches some Baby Einstein before bathtime. But last weekend, Noa got this crazy squeeky toy from Anna's 1st Birthday Party and she's been eating it ever since. Today Noa realized just how hilarious Crazy Squeeky Toy really was.

Check out the video below: She's laughing harder than Dad does watching Superbad after he smokes those "funny cigarettes". (I kid, I kid!)

Hold my Calls!

Life as we know it is officially over: Noa's on the move!

Mommy or Noa??

You know the mind-boggling mystery of who Noa gets her oh-so-svelt frame from?

CASE CLOSED.

Check out Mommy in a fashionable avocado green floral bathing suit, circa 1978.

Musical Munchkin

Noa is a dancing fool!

She has a perma-smile every Monday at Musical Munchkins class. Last week was such a treat: Grandma Susie was in town and got to see our bouncing baby in action.

Proud Mama took videos, take a look!

Looks like Dad isn't the only Benerofe who likes to get some light reading done in the bathroom!

If Smurfs Were Pink...

Noa Sprouts Teeth; Monkey Pays the Ultimate Price

Monkey just didn't see it coming. Noa's harmless gumming of his limbs was something he actually used to look forward to every morning. Little did he know she'd sprouted TWO teeth! Talk about a massacre. He's been in the Stuffed Animal Infirmary since Monday. Thankfully he emerged from the incident relatively unscathed, yet his mental health is still up in the air.

Sheep and Bunny saw the whole thing go down on YouTube last night and are now in fear for their lives. They've escaped from the top of the changing table and are currently in hiding. Word on the street is that they're bunking over at Elephant's. He's been on the outs with Noa since she outgrew Taggies so they should be safe!

**Check out Noa's toothy grin below...they are the teeny tiny little white things on the bottom gum!**

Don't Quit Your Day Job, Dad

Noa's adventures with food continue...although we'd love to believe she's an extremely advanced kid, odds are she just reached for the closest thing she could find to chew on. Either way, this is pretty funny!
