Lola's 1 year stats

The family princess turned 1!!  And this giant is FAR from a princess.  She's rough and tough and tries every day to keep up with her rambunctios brothers.  If you ask us she does a really good job.  We're beginning to think she may be the athlete of the family...we'll see.  Either way we're so, so, so happy Miss Lola was added to the family, she has been the perfect addition!!!

Weight = 18 lbs (17%...had to question if she was a Hendricks)

Height = 30.63" (92%...confirmed she was a Hendricks)

Head 18.3" (88%...full of info to stay on her toes with those boys)

Gavin

Weight = 24 lbs (70%)

Height = 30.5 (74%)

Liam

Weight = 21 lbs (55%)

Height = 29.5" (40%)

2014 Seattle 3 Day

This was our 6th year participating in the 60 mile challenge.  Seattle is probably our favorite city to do the walk in.  But the 2 times we've done it the weather has been phenomonal!!

We've already signed up for 2015 in Seattle and REALLY want others to join us this year.  The team of two is getting lonely.  Talking for 7 hours a day, 3 days straight for 6 years - we're running out of things to say to each other :)  If you decide you want to join us our team name is "because we can" look for it at registration.

2nd Annual Cedar Creek Crew Block Party

Saturday August 16th we gathered again to share summer coming to an end.  We honestly have the greatest neighborhood anyone could ask for!  Everyone had a great time and we are already looking forward to next year (maybe in September when it isn't quite as hot)

5 year stats

Gavin had his 5 year checkup and the thing he was the most excited about is that he doesn't have to get another shot until he's 11 years old.

Height = 43.62" (69%)

Weight = 45 lbs (80%)

Happy Birthday Gavin!!

He turned 5, and enjoyed everything about it.  We had a countdown on July 1st because he knew it was July and could hardly stand waiting for his birthday.  Every day he told us how many days until he was 5.  He's a still our sweet little boy even though he's growing up.  We had a fun day with friends and family!!

We think she's officially growing bigger and faster than her brothers.

Gavin Update

Gavin is 4 years and 8 months now and had a HUGE growth spurt in the last month or so.  He comes close to the top of mom's armpit...he's only 4 how does this happen.  If we're lucky he'll get daddy's height!

Currently playing soccer and football, even though we're still seeing snow flurries.  We haven't really decided what he likes best; he's hard to read and still sometimes uninterested all together.  He loves to run fast so we think he's taking a liking to soccer...lots of running.

Gavin will be waiting one more year to start Kindergarten so the 2014-2015 school year he will attend transitional Kindergarten 3 days a week, full time.

We're looking forward to this summer and swim lessons and baseball!

The Stats

Lola's 6 month stats
Height 27.32" (86%) - taller than both brothers @ 6 months!!
Weight 16 lbs (37%)

By no means does this little girl seem like a 37 percent-er; she's growing like a weed and doing everything in her power to catch up to her big brothers.  She loves to eat and is really great about trying new things.  Pretty much whatever we cook, we just put in the food processor and she has the same thing: sausage and eggs for breakfast on this 6 month checkup day :)

Brother Gavin 6 months
Height 27" (68%)
Weight 19.25 lbs (77%)

Brother Liam 6 months
Height 26" (25%)
Weight 17.9 lbs (50%)

The Stats

A little more timely is the stats for Miss Lola.  Speaking of growing, she's off the charts (well almost).  She definitely holds the height record in the Hendricks Kids club.  Who knows she may end up being the tallest of all of us (ok maybe not Jason).  She is happy and healthy, we couldn't ask for anything more.  She's holding her head up now and loves just watching the craziness (brothers) around her.  She sits in her high chair at the dinner table and converses with the family, lots of goo goo ga ga talk.  We all love it though.  I'm sure we'll have lots of pictures to post soon as she's going to begin trying solid foods - whoa, big girl!
