  When Noelle was about 6 weeks old she met a very handsome little fellow named Boaz.   That very first meeting they started playing a game, and have continued to play the game every time they’ve seen each other since.  It has provided great amusement to their parents.    Last night I was able to get pictures.  As usual I seem to snap just a second “off” to get the really cute shots and I had to use the flash which makes poor Noelle’s overly white skin look extra washed out…But even with all that they are still cute!

  This is how the game goes.  Boaz walks over to her and with a serious demeanor observes her sucking her paci.  She solemnly observes him right back.  Then Boaz reaches out and takes the pacifier out of her mouth, something that would warrant loud protestations and fussing under normal circumstances.  After her “plug” is pulled she either continues to look at him, grin, and or makes squealing “talking” noises.  Then he pokes it back in her mouth and starts all over again.  These pictures aren’t exactly a fair representation of what usually happens because typically they are focused on playing instead of being distracted with a giant flashing light.

  Let the game begin!  Paci in place, Boaz in position and Noelle with her usual solemn demeanor.
  
  

  Then a really adorable variation occurred.  Boaz leaned in and kissed her on the forehead!  It was SO so sooo cute.  I missed getting the actual kiss but got him heading in for it.  Noelle is a lot less interested in the kiss than she is in why he isn’t returning the Pacifier the way he’s supposed to. 
  

  After the kiss he returned the Paci. 
  

  I am personally in love with Boaz’s mop of curls.  Ringlets that any straight haired girl would die for!   His Mom says that he really likes blondes as an explanation for why he enjoys playing with Noelle so much.  Kid must be really intuitive to figure out that she’s going to be a blonde from the multi colored fuzz her little head currently sports. 

  The two of them are just hilarious to watch.  Boaz took breaks from The Game to push her around the room,  occasionally parking her in the “corner” while he went to take a break.  She would crane her neck around towards him while making little noises as if to say “Uhm, you are going to come back and get me, right?  This is rather boring staring at the wall you know…”  If he took too long to come back and get her she would stop playing the helpless victim and back herself out of the corner using her own two feet.  After a while he got tired of her being in the walker.  We heard her fussing and went over to find out what was going on.  Boaz had both hands gripping the front of her sleeper trying to pick her up.  Poor guy couldn’t understand what he was doing wrong! lol   

  I am so glad she is learning to play well with other babies/toddlers.  Hopefully she’ll learn good baby manners and won’t be one of these babies that goes around hitting other babies on the heads!
