Well, it has taken me a couple of days to get up the courage to post. But a lot has happened since I last posted and it's definitely about time I update everyone on whats happening with the Stockhoffs! I hope you all enjoyed the little video of Noah laughing. He has become quite the character...I am having so much fun spending time with him and love seeing him grow (and by grow I mean GROW!). We had his 2 month appointment before we left KY and he weighed in at a whopping 17 lbs. He was actually 10 weeks at the time...but still, what a whopper! He LOVES to chew on his fingers, especially his thumb. I have to make a conscious effort to keep him from making a habit of it, but I have to admit, it's pretty darn cute. He poops out of his diaper at least once to twice a day and I recently had to move him into the size 3 diaper because the size 2 just wasn't cutting it! I can't believe how quickly time has gone, as of last Saturday Noah is 12 weeks old. I can only hope the next year moves as quickly!
A couple weekends ago Andy, Noah, my sister Whitney and I made a trip to Boise to visit my brother Nate and his family. Jayni, my niece, loved playing with Noah and singing him songs: 'Sing sweet nightingale, sing sweet nightingale, ahahahahaha'. He loved her lullabies! She insisted that she hold him although, as you can see in the pictures, he is almost her size. What cute cousins!
We also got to spend a little time touring Boise (and getting some tasty frozen yogurt) with Andy's good friend Justin. I can't wait til I can go back to Boise and eat some more blue cow. YUM!
Lastly, most of you know that last Friday, May 1st, Andy left to spend a week in Georgia before he heads out to Afghanistan. I can't even explain how difficult that day was for me, and for Andy. He will be serving with the US Corps of Engineers as a Project Engineer and I know he will do a great job. We miss him so much and think about him all the time, but thankfully we have been able to webcam a few times and I can't tell you how much that helps. We are doing well and can't wait for Andy to come home on his mid-tour leave. Thanks to all our friends and family for your love and prayers. Especially those who called or sent me messages over the weekend, even if I didn't respond, I appreciate it very much! We couldn't do this without you.
