6 Months

I am now 6 months old as of Thursday. My mom and dad can't believe I've been around that long. I went to the Doctor yesterday and he said I am doing well. I weighed in at 14.13 lbs which is in the 20th percentile and my length was 26in which is in the 60th percentile so I guess I'm not a very big baby. Dad was nervous cause I had to get shots Its a good thing he didn't go with me because he would have cried more than I did. I decided to be strong for him even though he wasn't there so Ionly shed a few tears. I really am growing up, I sit up really well with some help and do alright for a little bit without help. I can roll to my stomach just fine but I don't enjoy that position much and haven't quite got the hang of rolling back over. My dad is pretty good at making me laugh, I laugh most when I am really tired. I love my dad and watching him. I hate going to sleep even when I'm real tired but mom seems to hate when I'm awake and real tired so she tries to rocks me to sleep and I put up a good fight but she usually wins. I demand a lot of attention and stress my mom out sometimes but I'm pretty sure she still thinks I'm the cutest thing in the world! I'm pretty sure I have the best mommy and daddy in the World!

Hunting and Halloween

Dad went Deer/Elk hunting just over 3 weeks ago with Grandpa Hendrix and Uncle Jeff and this is what he came back with, and boy is he proud. Not proud enough however because he is already making plans to go out next year and get and even bigger one. Mom says he is not allowed to shoot another one until they can afford to pay some one to cut it up because she did not enjoy doing that with this deer. The whole story of dad getting the deer is quite the long story so you'll have to talk to him if you what more details.

I am watching the trailer to the movie UP and just loving it! My dad discovered my love for this trailer a while ago and if I scream just loud enough and long enough and don't stop despite all of their efforts they will sit me in front of the computer and play the UP trailer for me and of course I calm right down. Since I like the trailer so much, while dad was hunting Mom, Grandma Hendrix and Aunt Julie took me to the theater to watch the movie UP. I really enjoyed it, I got tired and took a little nap but woke up to see the end.

This is a really excited me. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!

My First Halloween. Mom dressed me up as her little lamb. She made the costume herself and is so proud with how it turned out.

We trick or treated Granny and Grandpa Dryden's but that was the extent of our trick or treating adventures.

We also went to the ward Halloween party and everyone thought I was so cute. That made mom even more proud I think.

At the party dad took me fishing, so this is a picture of my first fishing adventure with dad. I caught a ring. Then we went through the spook ally which was more scary for mom than me.

Here we have a picture of my cousin Shayli that mom wanted me to post just because she is so cute.

Yes we're still alive

watching conference with dad

Don't I looks so cute

Just after mom put me through the torture of the baby contest. Nope I didn't win. I know we were all shocked.

Another outdoor adventure

Do we really have to go on another hike? I just want to go home.

Two Spectacular Years Together!

It's my Mommy and Daddy's Anniversary today. They are so happy together! I think they've really ejoyed that last two years but I am pretty sure they would say that the last 4 months have been the best part! Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Cabin Fever

I think my parents have decided that they have to take me everywhere they can possibly think of in my first six months of life. So far I've done pretty good with the traveling but if they don't narrow it down a bit I might have to start complaining. A few weeks ago we went to our Great-Grandpa Hendrix's cabin at Twin Lakes in California. It was really beautiful up they. I got lugged around in that dang carrier thing, thank goodness my dad came up with the idea of letting me face out cause it gets pretty boring when all I can see is the shirt my face is smashed into.

Dad, uncle Jeff and cousin Brice hicked to a mountain like one day to go fishing. It looks like it was a beautiful hike and lake.

One Week Old

My mom is not very good at keeping this blog up to date so I am taking over. They take picture after picture after picture of me and I am going to make sure they don't go to waste. Now I can't promise that I'll do much better than mom cause my fingers and hands don't work so good right now but I'll at least try.

These pictures were taken of me when I was just a week old by Mom's cousin Amy. They look good now but I wasn't so optomistic sitting out in the weeds with the cool breeze while they took pictures.

Adalynn's first camping adventure

Adalynn stuffed in a Joe's Backpack. We were trying to see if this would work or if we needed to go buy a baby carrier.

She's just hanging out in her bouncy waiting for us to be ready to go

We went with the baby carrier. The back pack was too risky. In my hand I have one of those off clip-on repellent things, did not work at all but neither did the regular spry stuff with these mosquitoes they were so bad, I've never seen that many mosquitoes in my life and nothing could get rid of them.

To keep them off of Adalynn we wrapped a blanket around her and the a bunch of tulle. It worked pretty good.

Joe thought he'd try it out too.

All bundled up for bed

hanging out in the tent away from all the crazy mosquitoes

Here we have Joe with just one of his brothers we didn't get the whole crew. We had lots of fun camping with all of Joe's family. The Brothers did some Mountain biking and I joined in a little too... I rode the bike when we were going down hill and hoped in the car when we were going up hill.
