Swing Time

I know you're not supposed to put your baby in the swing to go to sleep because they need to learn to sleep on their own, but Hendrix is still so tiny yet and loves to be in the swing that I figure it can't hurt to let him swing for a bit!



At it Again

Caught Jerry asleep again...this time he is holding Hendrix!

Clown Lips

Marley got into Grandma Ruth's lipstick and decided she was a make-up artist.  Looks like a make-up artist for the clowns at the circus!!  I guess she tried to stay within her lip lines!  She's so funny!!

Nap Time on the Couch

Kevin snapped this very attractive picture of me passed-out on the couch with Hendrix.  Hendrix looks so adorable all snuggled-up sleeping!

Hendrix First Birthday Party

Since we are living with Ruth and Jerry until our new house finalizes, Ruth was nice enough to throw Hendrix a little newborn birthday party when he was two days old, complete with cake and decorations! 
Look at these two little girls...fresh out of the bath with wet hair but ready to party!

Marley and Grace visit Hendrix in the Hospital

I had to stay in the hospital for longer than I wanted (I seriously could've went home the next day after giving birth) because I was group-b strep positive and had Hendrix so fast that they were unable to get any penicillin in me to help protect Hendrix.  So, the pediatrician suggest we stay the full time (which was two nights), just to make sure.  He was fine.  The only thing I worried about was the circumcision because I had never had to take care of that before and I wanted to make sure I didn't do things wrong! I went stir-crazy in the hospital though!  Hendrix took to breast feeding like a champ, but I didn't get much sleep because he always wanted to nurse, so I only sent him to the nursery when they had to take him in for the routine things.  I'm also nervous about him getting sick because Grace and Marley attract germs like magnets and babies get sick so easily.  Hopefully my breast-feeding him will help!

Marley and Grace Visit Hendrix in the Hospital

It was really convenient to be living with Jerry and Ruth when I went into labor with Hendrix because we were able to go to the hospital without having to round someone up to watch the girls.  After Hendrix was born, Jerry and Ruth brought Marley and Grace to see him later that day.
