Gearing up for the Warm Weather

So we have officially inherited the summer clothes bin from Kate and we had a lot of fun going through and trying on all of the summer wear and footwear. We are going to have another challenging year when it comes to shorts given Henry's short stature, however we did have a lot of fun with the flip flops! Henry was quite envious of Cole's flip flops last summer and so he was especially excited when he got to wear them around the house.

Yes, the chub around the knees remains, this may be the last summer of chubby knees (or so we hope!)

If only he could master putting them on himself.

Some new crocs, another favorite of Henry's.

It's a Boy!!!

We found out today that we are having a little boy!! We are very excited for Henry to have a little brother and for us to have another son, after all, the first one has turned out pretty good so far! Henry took the news it was a boy pretty well considering he has been asking for a sister. As Kate and I were showing Henry and the rest of the boys the ultrasound picture Kate pointed out that the baby's "pee pee" is how we know it is a boy baby. Later in the evening when my mom asked Henry what he wanted to name his baby brother, he said, "Grammy, his name is pee pee." So, yes we gave "pee pee" lots of kisses before bed tonight and I am just hoping we come up with a name quickly so the baby does not think his name is "pee pee."


The big brother!! (I just couldn't do a post with no pictures!)

Friends

Last weekend Henry and some of his friends attended a trial day at gymnastics. Unfortunately I was much too busy at gymnastics to get any pics, but if you check out his friend Mason's blog there are some pics. After the gymnastics (which unfortunately was not very organized so we will not be back), we went to Mari's house to play. It is always fun to see Henry and Mason fight over strollers and dolls when they are both so accustomed to playing with trains and cars. The kids have been playing together since they have been born and it is just amazing to see how they are finally starting to interact especially since they do not see each other as often as we all would like.

Mason finally got a turn in the pink car, after giving Henry rides forever.

Henry loved putting the baby in and out of the grocery cart.

Mason so kindly giving Henry rides. He would crash him into the wall, then say "you all done." Henry would say "nope," and Mason would continue driving him. Until Mason finally got tired of it and just climbed in the car with Henry. Henry is still learning how to share and take turns, it continues to be a struggle.

Mari is also a big fan of Dora, so Henry was very excited to try out her Maracas!

Ok, so this is not the best picture of Henry and Mason, but how cute does Mari look! the only way to get them all together is to feed them, I think Henry had three cookies and when he saw this picture he asked for another!

Fun with the wagon! The boys each took turns helping push the wagon while the other rode with Mari, what a princess!

Henry's turn, I think Mason was telling him to go faster!

Mari has a really big tree in her yard where the kids could play under the branches, apparently Henry was very appreciative of the tree.

And, after all the fun, he passed out! What a great day, thanks Mari and Mason!

****Stay tuned Wednesday for the big news! We have our ultra sound and hopefully will be posting if Henry is going to have a little brother or sister!****
