A little son joined our family this week. He arrived two weeks early, and weighed in at 8lb, 8oz. "Hezekiah's" official name is . . .
. . . Daniel Phillip Hendrickson! I love his name, but after months of calling him Hezekiah, Little Guy, etc., sometimes I have a hard time remembering to use his official title. :)
Here's a picture of Mama and Daniel. He's got dark hair like his big sister, though not quite as much of it as she did on arrival.
Here's Joy meeting Daniel for the first time. She posed nicely for this photo op for about two seconds, then told Daddy to put the baby "away" so he could take her for a walk. Oh well, she's got eternity to learn to love her little brother (though we hope it won't take quite that long).
It's finally time to go home! Now the real fun (and sleep deprivation and endless laundry and major life adjustment) begins!
Welcome to the family, Daniel!

Congratulations! You know how I feel about boys! We wish you lots of sleep! Can't wait to meet Daniel!
Congratulations! Newborn babies are always so precious!
Congrats on your new little one. Little boys are so much fun!! Love the reaction of Joy so classic!
I feel so happy for all of you.
Even (and perhaps especially) when you are at your most tired, isn't there something indescribably wonderful about having a soft little head nestled against your chin?
I'm so glad that your little family has grown.
Be prepared--our second child taught our first how to be noisy. The noise and tumult increase exponentially.
And Kim? Know that your recovery is important and that your whole family will enjoy life more if you ask for help so you can rest. You are already good enough just being Kim--don't try and do any Wonder Woman imitations.
What a cutie! Congrats!
Congratulations!! I'm so excited for you guys! I'm partial to little boys myself. :) He is so cute!
Congratulations! He is simply adorable....
Kim, this is ultra wonderful! Congratulations, m'dear!
(Also, I love the name Daniel. It's among my favorite male names. So kudos, you.)
Congratulations! He's adorable & you look great!

Congrats Hendickson family! Daniel is beautiful.
Kimberly and Phillip (and Joy too!)...
CONGRATS! That is wonderful news. I love Joy's comment about putting the baby away. That's classic.

Congrats! I think one girl and one boy is just the right way to start out your kids :). He's adorable and I love his name. And I'm so glad it's not Hezekiah :)
What a handsome young man! Joy will adjust. It only took Georgia about 2 weeks before she was giving kisses to William.
He's beautiful. Good job!
congrats on the newest addition!
Congratulations! He is adorable. Can't wait to meet him.
Congratulations Kimberly!
I love the name Daniel. I have never regretted naming our Daniel that name. He has lived up to his Bible name, I think.
One thing funny about his name is that we always called him Daniel so that he didn't get stuck with Danny when he was older. Then when he was in high school he went by Dan. All his friends know him as Dan. If I call him Daniel they don't know who I am talking about. You just can't win as parents some times!
I hope you are all doing well. I can't wait to meet Daniel in person. He looks like a charmer.
Congratulations! Let us know when the blessing is! We will sure be there.
Kimberely & Phillip,
What a handsome man. What a blessing for your family. Love ya,Keep up with the naps.
He is such a beautiful little boy. Congratulations to all of you!
congrats!! he sure is a cutie!
adjusting to 2 is sure different than adjusting to 1.
We are so excited for your family, and happy to hear all is well. How sweet it is to have a boy and a girl.
Welcome Daniel! You are so blessed in the family you have joined. Your sister is sweet and your parents are amazing.
Congratulations...we are so happy for you!
