Waiting.... Still...

We are still here in Bahrain waiting for news. They said maybe today we’d hear something. It is nice to be among friends and everyone here has been so encouraging and supportive of us that we are so blessed to be back – in spite of the amazing heat and humidity!
Noah rolled over for the first time on May 31^st and we got some video of him doing so. I got a picture of him mid-roll, but it just looks like he’s on his side. Cody then took his blanket and wrapped it on his head like a turban and we took pictures of that. He thought it was pretty funny. There's one picture where he looks really shy and that is because Kate was talking to him and telling him how cute he is. He smiled and looked away. It was really cute.
He went swimming for the first time right before Taylor left for the states and has been back in the water a few times since then. He seems to really like water. We got him an inflatable tube that he can sit in and he liked that for a bit, but prefers for his Daddy to hold him and let him swim. He floats on his back when Cody holds his head and he laughs when lifted up out of the water and plunged back in. Already he is a thrill seeker.

After a year without my quilting and scrap booking stuff, my friend Allison encouraged me to buy a small book to do while here and offered the use of her stuff. Very generous offer, so I took her up on it. I am going to join her scrapping circle on Monday morning and am going to do a little album of Noah. Today I compiled a bunch of pictures of him to have printed and can’t believe how much he has changed! He is already 3 months old and so different from when he was born. He weighs 6.2 kg and loves to put his feet up in the air above his head. He started grabbing his toes the other day and it is so cute. He has a total belly laugh now which is so cute when he gets going. He has lots of dexterity now and can grip little knobs and anything he is aiming for. Very cute and fun. We are enjoying him a lot.

Cody’s birthday is on Monday as well and we are going to have dinner and then go bowling. There’s not much else to do here in Bahrain and who knew we’d be spending another of his birthdays here! God did, and we are trusting that He knows where we will be next.
