making faces

yesterday, when Lia and mom got up in the morning, dear mami decided to give lia a little treat for the hairs. so she bundled it up into neat little "kukiot". it started with 2, one on each side, and moved on to become 4 bundles, 3 in front and one in the back. then she modeled the whole thing with expressions on her face that she learns from papi. we practice a bit of strange facial expressions sometimes before she enters the bathtub in the evening in front of the big mirror there.

here's another one of the picture we took yesterday morning just before heading out to the kindergarten. She really is getting cuter and cuter as the days are passing by! in the last couple of weeks now she is also making a huge jump ahead with her social skills, she plays in such a lovely way with her friends in the kindergarten. whenever i go to pick her up we usually stay in the playground next to the kindergarten a bit and there she teams up with a friend or two and they head off laughing and shouting each others name: "Noa, Noa" and "Lia, Lia".
this is also a good moment to congratulate Enet Gil and Yoav, great set of friends they are. we went to visit them 2 days ago for jachnun breakfast and the very same evening they got a little baby girl named Tamar! (Enet was pregnant, so it wasn't really such a great surprise).
