4th of July

We had a busy but fun 4th of July this weekend. Grandma, aunt Sabrina and Kimmy stayed over Friday night. Saturday morning we went to Thomas' first parade. It rained a little, actually more like dribbled, so it didn't stop our fun. Thomas really liked all the balloons and was very interested in all the big red fire trucks. We even saw a moose! He reallly enjoyed playing with the umbrella (his first experience with this!) and watching all the people. Saturday grandma and aunt Sabrina took Thomas with them and met grandma and grandpa Berghoff for a baby drop off. He then spent the day at the lake with great-grandma and grandpa Watters and then stayed overnight in the Fort. From the sounds of things it seems he had a fabulous time and now probably thinks that mom and dad are boring! Luckily we're dogsitting this week so Kimmy is around to help keep Thomas entertained.

We're still working on walking and Thomas is getting better and better behind his fire truck. At least now he doesn't immediately drop to his knees like he use to! Now we've just got to get him use to wearing shoes. Speaking of which Thomas did the cutest thing last night. We were sitting in the screen room and he went back inside and threw dad's shoes back into the room 1 by 1. Then after both dad's sandals and flip flops were in the screen room he came in and attempted to put dad's sandals on! It was so cute!! At first I couldn't figure out what he was doing because he kept grabbing his foot and pulling it but then he finally got it into the shoe and looked around very pleased with himself. He truly is learning something new everyday and Travis and I are having the absolute best time with him!!
