Silly Song Bird

Hendrix has started a new thing where everything is a microphone and he sings an unintelligible song into it. He's such a funny boy!

I hate Hendrix's allergies...

So we went to a friend's house today. They have a very lovable Boxer named Max. He loves kids and licked Hendrix all over his little face. Suddenly Hendrix started turning red and broke out in hives. Then the swelling started...that's when I started to worry. I called Hendrix's doctor and they said they needed to see him right away. Since I was about 45 minutes away from the doctor, they said I needed to head to Urgent Care because they didn't want me to drive that long and risk Hendrix having breathing problems. We gave him some Benedryl and rushed out. Thankfully by the time we got to Urgent Care, the redness and hives seemed to be subsiding but the swelling was still really bad. By the time the doctor saw him the swelling was also getting better. They gave me a prescription for some steroids for Hendrix for the next week and sent us on our way.

I don't foresee a dog joining our family anytime in the near future.

Random Cuteness

This is how I found Hendrix one morning. In the kitchen, in the laundry basket, reading a book!

He's never been a thumb sucker but I guess he's a toe sucker!
Bathtub silliness that makes me laugh every time I look at this picture!

I can't tell if he's trying to drown out my awful singing or if he's just really enthusiastic about the Itsy Bitsy Spider!

Sneak Peek at our family pictures!

Yeay! I got a sneak peek at some of our family pictures! I'm anticipating getting a disk with all the pictures on them some time next week but in the mean time, these are the few I was given. They look great, I can't wait to see the rest!

Halloween Fun

This year Hendrix was a bull in a china shop (okay, so he's always a bull in a china shop but for Halloween he looked like it.)We went to a Halloween Carnival at my friend Beka's house. I made Rice Krispie pumpkins

Cute little bull
Boba Fett, Tiger and Bull

Hendrix tried his hand at skateboarding. He did pretty well and only fell once!

We decorated cookies with handfulls of sprinkles

Hanging out with his friend Zoe the garden gnome

Ate his beautiful cookie

His costume from the back with his tail

Messy face, belly full of sugar. A good time was had by all!

Colorado Trip for Matt's Dad's Birthday

A few weeks ago Matt's mom flew us home to Colorado to surprise Matt's dad for his birthday. It was a fun, short trip. We had family pictures taken, I'll post those soon hopefully (if I ever get them back from our photographer...)

We carved pumpkins for the first time with Hendrix

Strong boy couldn't decide which one he wanted to carve

Playing with the goo
Not sure what to think of the seeds

Hendrix and his pumpkin

He was more interested in the battery operated candle in the pumpkin than anything else!

Hendrix also made friends with Grandma's cat PJ

More playing with PJ

Also learned how to catch a ball

And, shhhh, don't tell anyone, we had fun jumping on the couch! :)

But I don't want to model your hats anymore!

I made Sesame Street hats this weekend and Hendrix was not very pleased about being my model! Note how he gets increasingly annoyed!
