The Magician

In less than 15 months Hendrix turned a long sleeved pants suit into a short sleeved shirt!

Tiny Little Thief!

Some of my friends raved about these little hand-held baby snacks so I thought we'd try them out. I put some in the cart at the store and gave Hendrix one to play with. When I went to check out, one was missing but I just assumed it was the one he'd been playing with and he threw it while I wasn't looking. Well, when we left the store, I found the missing one in my purse, I guess Hendrix put it in there and I inadvertently stole it! I didn't feel like going back so I figure I'll just have them ring me up for an extra one next time.

Here's my little thief enjoying the spoils of his day!

Let the games begin!

The boy has figured out how to open doors! Luckily we always keep our front and back doors locked so he at least won't be able to escape!

Fun at the park

I can't believe how brave my little guy is! He goes down the slide by himself and is getting so good at the stairs! He's to the point now where he doesn't like to crawl up the stairs and can kind of walk up them instead.

Going down the slide all by himself

Mastering the stairs

Need I say more? Didn't think so!

Epic haircut and the corruption of the baby

Hendrix hasn't had a haircut since I nearly accidently gave him a buzz cut in late November and he was getting shaggy! So even though I was scared...I broke down and gave him a haircut tonight and I think it went pretty well!

After: I don't know why he looks so tan in the after pictures

And the other night Hendrix got his first taste of soda, it didn't go so well but his reaction cracked me up!

Future dentist, doughnut holes are good and other silliness

Hendrix is 14 months old now! We had a busy day yesterday so I didn't get a chance to weigh him but at his allergist appointment yesterday they measured him and said he was 29.5 inches which doesn't seem right so I don't know. The allergist had good things to say. He told me that it looks like everything I've been doing with his egg and dairy allergy seem to be great. He said if Hendrix gets small amounts of dairy and doesn't have a reaction, to keep giving it to him. Because of the severity of his egg reaction we're still to stay away from things like scrambled eggs. The other day I have Hendrix a piece of my rice cake that had a teeny bit of peanut butter on it and Hendrix broke out in hives so the allergist said to stay away from peanuts and shellfish until he is at least 3 years old so he can communicate with us if he's having a reaction. Thankfully the severity of his reactions still isn't bad enough that I have to read labels and be worried if any of his food has come in contact with peanuts or shellfish so that makes things easier!

He's getting to be so much fun, does new and silly things every day! One of his latest things is blowing on his food to make sure it's not too hot. It is so cute when he does it to his Cheerios!

He LOVES brushing his teeth! He'll sit there and let me brush them for him and then I give him a different toothbrush to play with and he'll continue to brush his teeth for the longest time after! Do we have a future dentist on our hands? You be the judge.

He woke up from his nap with some nasty death breath so I brushed his teeth and he was still waking up and a bit zoney in these pictures but they crack me up!

The other day I got some doughnut holes at the store and gave Hendrix half of one after lunch for dessert. I guess he really liked it because he'd take a bite and say "MMMMM!" it was so cute!

I was cleaning up Hendrix's stuffed animals and he got so excited and started burying himself in them so I helped him out and we had an E.T. moment!

He has figured out that the back of our massage chair has an opening so he sticks his little feet through it and stands on the base of the chair. It's so funny, he looks like the little no-legged boy.
