Sugarbaby: Noah from NYC
Our Sugarbaby this week hails from the Big Apple!
Noah, born February 15, 2006 in Manhattan, is quite a big boy these days and enjoys playing the guitar, romping around the playground, strutting along the balance beam at the gym, and dancing. He likes to shake his tiny tush to Little Maestros “Jump-In”, Justin Roberts “Meltdown”, and the Beatles “Ob li di, Ob la da”.

Back HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M The staging of a carcinoma has to do with the size of the tumor, and the degree to which it has penetrated.
