Noa's busy Friday

We took the bean to Ann Arbor today to tackle some tasks and settle in to the house. Before we left, Noa had some fun balancing a yellow ring on her head. It looks like a little plastic halo............. (or a humongous cheerio, which Noa is in love with right now...)

As you can imagine, she was exhausted after all that on-the-head- balancing, so she took a well-deserved nap on the drive over. Note that she sleeps with her mouth open--just like her Daddy.

We stopped to have some lunch, and Noa enjoyed her bowl of tomato-basil soup..........

...Later, while Grandpa and I gardened and pulled out weeds and a yucca plant, Noa had fun playing in the grass in her front yard.

She is thisclose to crawling......................

Here she is looking thoughtful..............

... and here she is thinking about shoving a handful of grass into her mouth (which she did seconds later).
