Now that she is officially a grown-up, Noa has insisted on taking on more adult responsibilities, like maneuvering her own spoon. (I don't have the heart to tell her that real grown-ups rarely use plastic cutlery.)

Now, instead of crawling around the perimeter of the bed, she walks around it (with the aid of Daddy and the footboard.)

She also had her first sleep-over. Her guest of honor was none other than Daddy. PARTEE IN NOA'S CRIB--PACIS FOR EVRYONE!

Here she adopts a very sophisticated look a la
Erykah Badu (only I don't think EB wears her shorts on her head.)

Daddy and Noa made the rounds at the local farmer's market. They were the cutest sight there.
Noa made sure to pick the healthiest, organic foods. She bought a lot of fresh basil so that she could make some pesto. See-- I told you she had sophisticated tastes!

Big girl sits in her chair, feeding herself, looking adorable in a hat and little else. It makes for much easier clean-up.
