July!

We spent a fantastic long 4th of July weekend at the lake with Grandma and Grandpa Beckman, Kim and baby cousin Koleton. While Henry enjoyed playing in the lake when the sun was shining, Grandma's choo choo train set remained the favorite activity. It was such fun to see Henry and Koleton play together...both love anything with wheels.

The biggest news at our house is Henry's new BIG BOY BEDROOM! We unveiled his new room last weekend and he loves it. From his first night in the big boy bed he has been great...not a problem at all. He loves his choo choo train sheets, the choo choo train on the wall, and of course all of his toys in his room. He talks about his big, big bed daily. More pictures of the new room to come...

We continue to visit the park on a daily basis. We have three favorite parks, and Henry will tell me which he'd like to visit on a particular day.

The nursery is now a nursery again. Henry loves to visit the "baby room", and is always excited to help daddy assemble whatever needs to be assembled. We had fun putting Henry in the cradle he once slept in as a newborn...he is such a big boy!

Henry sings a new song for us each day...his favorites are "Say, Say Oh Playmate", "ABC's", "Aint No Mountain High Enough...", and "Twinkle, Twinkle." I love to hear him singing in his bed as he wakes from his nap and thinks we're not listening...that's when he works through his new material.

Yesterday we asked Henry if he ever thought of anything besides choo choo trains and he quickly answered, "fire trucks." So...it's all choo choo trains and fire trucks at our house...come see us soon!
