Fun Summertime

Henry has been very very active. He's really into letters and numbers and is becoming interested in spelling. He's also really into diving for rocks in the pool (and is quite good at it) and loves play-do. A few quick stories for you:

Henry went over to the chalkboard one morning this week and without prompting or anyone looking, he wrote the letter H! Then for the rest of the morning he kept describing how he did it: "First I drew this line over here, then I drew this other line over here and then I drew this line across. And, then it was an H!" It was so cute. He was so proud of himself.

Henry's favorite song is "Ode to LRC" by Band of Horses. It's one of our favorite songs too, but for weeks now it's the only thing we're allowed to listen to in the car - he likes it over and over and over. And, he knows all of the words.

Henry (as you'll see in the pictures below) had some alone time in his room the other day. When he came out he was so happy with himself and he said "Mommy, look! I put stickers on my boobies!" So funny!

Then the other day he got kind of serious and he said "Daddy, did you know that when you go to the restaurant there is a man there and he will give us tacos?"

Summertime fun

Henry has been having a good time. He is a big fan of Barton Springs. And, has been enjoying learning to swim in some swim lessons with his friends. Also, he had a great time at his dad's cousin Shane's wedding. Here are some photos from the last few weeks:
