The stats

Liam turned 4 in December.  

He may not be the biggest kid in size in the family, but his personality is often the biggest.  And we love him to pieces for it.

	Height	Weight
Liam	41” - 59%	36 lbs - 50%
Gavin	42” - 74%	42 lbs - 90%

Black Hoof Park

We really love this park, and can never remember the name of it or how to get to it.  So this time we took photos and we're blogging about it so we won't forget.  The last time we went was in July, but it should be a great place to visit this fall as well.

Our boys

Just playing around on the back porch and grabbed the camera.

15 Month Stats

As big, and strong, and thick, and heavy as we think Liam is...he's weighing in at only the 30% for his age.  He is officially our small fry, but his smallness does not stop him from trying to be a big boy.  He runs, plays, laughs, and argues the best he can with Gavin.

Liam 15 months
Weight 23 lbs 4 oz (31%)
Height 31.14" (52%)
Head 18.9" (74%)

Gavin 15 months

Bathtub finger paint

Thank you Santa, what a mess...but what fun!

 That's not pee, it's finger paint colored water - I swear!

I see a Colgate or Old Spice commercial in his future!

One vs One

We just went in for our big boy one year checkup.  Liam's physical abilities far exceed a typical one year old.  He walks (and runs) very well.  He climbs, plays, dances, and more.  He comprehends a lot of what we are saying and communicates very well - without even saying a word.  He is protesting sign language, but uses Liam language to communicate.  It works for now.  It is so fun to watch the boys grow together.  They are playing so well now that Liam can hold his own, and it appears Gavin is THRILLED to have his brother as a playmate!

1 Year Stats
	Liam	Gavin
Height	29.5	30.5
Weight	21	24.13
Head	18.5	18.5

Looks like their head to head (ha ha) in the smarts category - same amount of brains working in those little bitty heads of theirs!

Growing big & tall

9 month check in

                     Liam             Gavin

Weight         21.4 lbs          21.75 lbs      

Height          28.25             28.25

Head            18.25             17.75

As they get older it's getting easier and easier to tell them apart; the definitive blue and brown eyes give it all away.  They are really starting to play together and act like brothers.  It's so fun to watch.  Liam is growing so fast (already walking as of a couple days ago)

6 month Stats

Although it's almost time for the 9 month checkup, but I still thought it would be fun to do a comparison.

Gavin 6 months
Weight 17.5 lbs
Length 26.5"
Head 17"

Liam 6 months
Weight 17.9 lbs
Length 26"
Head 17 1/4"

They're so close to the same.  Liam is growing by leaps and bounds!!  He loves, loves, loves to eat and he'll try anything (most things he likes).  He definitely is enjoying 'grown up' food more than baby food.  It makes dinners a lot easier.

The older Liam gets, you can really start to notice their very different.  Still boy Hendricks boys in every possible way though :)

The Wanted Wannabes

Gavin discovered this song on the iPad; we think he secretly listened to it at night in his room.  All of a sudden one day he knows all the words, has a dance routine with instruments.  Gotta love that kid.  Liam sure loves him!

6 month update

The other night we watched a 45 second video of a baby laughing in the back seat of our car.  Several people watching said "oh look, it's Liam"...nope it was Gavin.  There are lots of things Liam does that reminds us of Gavin, but as you can see from the pictures below...they are both BOYS, definitely brothers, but still each have their own unique look.

and just in case you are wondering, Gavin is on top, Liam is on bottom.  Liam has his official 6 month check up in a week; we'll put up the stats for the two after his visit.

The 4 Month Stats

Today is Liam's 4 month birthday.  He's such a great baby, all smiles all the time!!  Here is how he stacks up to big brother when he was 4 months old.  Gavin by the way is completely into Liam now.  Very protective, loving, and excited!!  Liam gets the giggles when Gavin is being silly.

Adorable!!
