Going to the Whoreport

This video is hilarious for so many reasons. First, Noa is SO excited to fly on an airplane to see her Chicago family. She gets so animated talking about them! Second, she calls the airport a whoreport. I know I should correct her, but it's just too funny!

On another note, our flight got cancelled a few hours after we filmed this video and Noa cried "I want to go to Chicago" on repeat for about 45 minutes straight. Good times!

Noa Turns 2!

What a wonderful weekend celebration! Grandma Susie and Papa were in town from Chicago. The Lewis and Benerofe families kicked off the weekend with a naked (and dangerous!) hibachi dinner at Noda, followed by a raging party on the roof and capped off with hot dogs and french fries in Madison Square Park in the city.
Mom and Dad can't believe Noa is already 2 years old!

More Swimming!

A return trip to Sanibel Island this month proved that Noa definitely did not forget how to swim. Check out the cute footage below. Both Noa and Daddy are superstar swimmers!

PS- We added lots of new videos from the trip in the video gallery on the right!

Noa's First Concert!

Everyone remembers their very first concert. Daddy's was the Beach Boys/Chicago. Mommy's was James Taylor. Papa's was probably The Rolling Stones. 30 years from now, Noa will be telling her own kids about her first concert: They Might Be Giants at the Tarrytown Music Hall.

Noa rocked out a la Daddy at the '04 Phish show at Coventry, minus the "brownies" of course. She was unable to resist the urge to boogie down to tunes like "Here Come the ABCs" and "Who Put the Alphabet in Alphabetical Order?". In fact, Noa boogied in the aisles during the entire show.

Check out the grainy footage below.

Just so we don't forget...

Every day Noa says or does something that cracks us up. I think I'm going to remember it, and by the end of the day, I've completely forgotten what it was! I keep saying I have to write this stuff down, and then never do. So this post is going to be nothing more than a running list of things I never want to forget.

At 22 months old: Noa is very outgoing and verbal. She befriends strangers everywhere we go!

-As I was sitting on the couch this morning, Noa walked up to me, put her hand on my arm and said, "Are you okay, Honey?" and then rested her head on my lap. I have no idea where she heard that sentence before!

-Whenever Jory puts his jacket on to leave for work Noa gives him a big smile and says, "LOOOOOOOVE YOU!" before he walks out the door.

-Noa always wants two of everything. Give her a cracker and she'll ask, "Two crackers? Two crackers, mommy?" She's asked for two Nemo's, two goldfish, two spoons, two keys, etc etc.

-Noa loves all the people that work in our apartment building. She says hi to most everyone she passes on the street anyway, but she really loves Colin who works in the garage. She'll see him and scream while waving frantically, "HIIII COLIN!!!!!" whenever we go down to get the car.

-Noa is beginning to express her independence. We hear alot of: "Noa do it!", followed immediately by a proud, "I did it!".

-Noa can sing her ABC's and can count to 10 on her own, however she does throw a few extra "4's" in there!

-Noa wakes up from her naps saying some strange things. Today she woke up saying, "Bless you, Noa. More cake? Cake and broccoli? Thank you, Mommy."

-Last month Daddy flipped his upper and lower lips inside out to make them really big to make Noa laugh. She looked at him and said, "Gross!". Another word she's picked up without our knowledge.

-Once when Noa and I were driving in the car on an overcast day she asked, "Sunshine, where aaaaaare you?"

Old McDonald had a Farm

Noa and her old buddy Nathan took a trip to the farm this Saturday. They hadn't seen each other in almost 9 months! After catching up over coffee and muffins in the courtyard, they trotted around the grounds saying "hi" to the piggies, cows, dogs, chickens and sheep. There was a lot of hugging and hand holding between the two little ones, but the cutest part of the day was when Nathan, half asleep by the time he got home, whispered to his Mommy: "I had fun with Noa today" just as she tucked him in for a nap.

We can't wait to check back in with the animals next weekend! It's our new favorite Saturday morning activity, and it's even better when we bring along good friends like Nathan and his parents!
