Riley at two weeks

We feel so lucky to have such a sweet little spirit in our home. Riley has continued to be our "angel" baby. He has been sleeping up to four hours straight in the night which has been nice for Kalvin and I. During the day Riley sleeps a lot but when he is awake he could care less if he is held or sitting in the boppy. Plus being the second child Riley has already taken lots of overly rough loves from his big brother which he handles surprisingly well. I recently have had to go back to work which I have been dreading. I have a great job where I am gone on weekend nights and Saturday while Kalvin is home. I was really nervous about leaving Riley for the first time even though he is a great baby but he did awesome for his Daddy and Kalvin continues to prove he is Super Dad!
ps. Thanks Jenn for taking some great fun pictures!

Riley Ben Hendricks arrives!

Riley was born November 2, 2009 at 5:59pm. He weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. I arrived at the hospital around 9:30am to be induced. The delivery went great with no complications. Kalvin even did great ( he almost fainted after Taylor was born). We have now started to call Riley our Angel Baby. Between a great nine month pregnancy with hardly no morning sickness, a smooth delivery, and Riley's perfect demeanor- he hardly cries just sleeps and eats plus sleeps about fours hours straight in the night- the name has fit perfect. I guess he knows its just what his parents need!


Riley's first bath with Dad which he liked a little bit!

Happy Halloween!

We had so much fun this Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays now that I have kids. Taylor loved dressing up and being a tiger. We had a trunk or treat at our ward. Sammy and Maddie came a joined in the fun. They loved gathering the candy from all the cars. Taylor would say trick or treat about ten times while he was waiting for everyone in front of him to get candy until it was his turn.

I had to work the actual night of Halloween so Grandpa Hendricks came and took Taylor trick or treating while Daddy stayed home and passed out candy. We got lots of trick or treaters at our house.

Taylor loved painting little pumpkins for all his Grandparents.

Kalvin carved Taylor a Sponge Bob pumpkin.
