Smiles at the lake!

We had a great trip to the lake this weekend with Uncle T and Aunt E, Grandma and Grandpa Beckman. It was a little cold for Henry to dip his feet in the water, but he did experience his first boat ride - an evening cruise after dinner. On our way to the lake Friday night Henry attended his first party at Matt and Andrea's house, and got to meet several friends and his first golden retriever. He slept soundly as he was passed from stranger to stranger. He was a trooper in the car, sleeping most of the way there and back. Henry impressed the crowds on Sunday as he gave a huge wide open smile to Tim as he took his hand. It was great fun as everyone was watching...he has a very cute smile. Tuesday was Henry's one month check-up. He weighed in at 10 pounds, 11.5 ounces, which puts him in the 80th percentile for weight. He is 23 inches long and in the 90th percentile for height. The pediatrician was very pleased with his progress, despite the spit-up coating her chairs and floor. Tuesday night we had a special visitor. Scotty Dangelo came for dinner and serenaded Henry with his guitar for an hour. He sang new and old songs for the three of us and we loved it. Thanks, Scotty. We hope everyone is having a wonderful May so far!

I think you are probably tiring of hearing this by now but Henry looks like John spit him out. That's crazy, isnt't neat to see a new little person that looks like you. In my case, Davis looks like me. It's so surreal. I love looking at your blog and your beautiful baby. And Em, i do believe you have lost all your baby weight- good for you! Well, i will check in on you guys again soon. Ann
