Sunny California!

We took Hendrix on his first plane ride! We went to California to visit Jamie and Jared - and of course to meet their new addition Piper! She is such a doll, looks just like her mamma with little hints of Jared! I had forgotten how to deal with such a tiny little baby, even though it was only 6 months ago that Hen was that size! Piper is so delicate and precious. She is at such a sweet age! We fell in love with that little darling and miss her already.

I am not quite sure what Hendrix and Piper thought of each other! Piper would gaze at Hendrix and Hendrix would try to put his big old bear paws all over her! We had to be a little careful. I think Hendrix was a little jealous of the little Miss! He probably thought she was moving in and stealing his parents attention.

Thank you J&J! You guys were the best hosts - fed us good food, took us out to some neat places and made us feel right at home.

6 Months Old!

Honestly, it feels like I was just pregnant! Yet, somehow Hendrix is 6 months old! The last two months with this little monkey have been challenging. He had cold after cold which turned into ear infection after ear infection. Luckily we have a strong little boy and he was not too fussy during this time. The doctor said he has had really bad luck! Dang it! All is better now. He has been healthy for over a week. I think the weather warming up has really been good for him! He is getting more and more fun by the day. He is so close to crawling it is scary.

I can't believe how much 'One and Hendrix look alike. I honestly don't think O could ever deny this kid as his own! Ha ha. As if he would ever want to!

Hendrix was 18 lbs 6 oz and 28 inches long. He is in the 75th-90th percentile on everything, but I don't have exact percentiles. He is a big, proportioned kid!

We head to Cali on Wednesday, and I honestly can't wait. We could all use a nice vacation!

Moving Backwards!

Little Mr. Hendrix has decided to start to maneuver his way around, the only problem, he moves himself backwards! Ha. Crazy little guy.

We have entered Hendrix in the "cutest baby" Baby Idol 2010 contest through 971 zht. If you think Hendrix is as cute as we do, you should vote for him. We win a dream nursery plus a years worth of diapers and baby products!

We are getting so excited to meet little Miss Piper! We go to Cali a week from Wednesday! Oh, we have so much to get organized for our trip. This will be Hen's first plane ride and vacation!
