Not so "merry" Santa pics...

Santa had been waving at Santa at different things we went to like Christmas Magic and the malls, so I though that maybe, just maybe, he would be ok... attempt #1:

 Yeah, so no liking it too much...attempt #2 was worse, but at least Santa was actually looking this time.

My friend Liz told me to pic the most damatic picture...so we chose this one since you can see down his throat. While it looks as if he is screaming, he's actually trying so had that NO sound is coming out.

Better late than never!!!

So there really are no excuses why I waited until my baby was 15 months old, to post his 1 year Happy Birthday Post...of course I had BIG plans, to do an elaborate post, with Happy First Birthday Nolan, and write how wonderful this year has been...well that never happened, and while yes, the year was wonderful, it's pretty much ridiculous to write all that now. So instead, I thought I would at least post the pictures from the events of Nolan's big birthday....

This is just one picture from Nolan's Chuck E Cheese birthday....long story, but I was having to steal pictures from Corinn's facebook, and after having to get a new camera battery to make sure that I did this post on the exact 15 month (November 10th) date, I thought one picture would suffice.

Nolan's bday present from his Aunties....his car...looooves his car. He loved it then, and he STILL loves it. He rides in it, almost every day.

Birthday morning....happy birthday!!!

Birthday breakfast....oh yeah, gotta love the puffs!

For lunch we had McDonald's with our friends... well Nolan had peas, because he doesn't like meat...not hamburgers, not chicken...and barely fries...so he eats peas.

He had a fun time!

That night we had tickets to the Ranger game!! This was his second Ranger game...he did pretty well...as long as we have the snack trap, and some fishies, we can last a good while! :)

For his BIG party we had friends and family at the house, with a big water slide/obstacle course in the backyard! It was a lot of fun, and all the kids had a great time!

Who doesn't love cake!??! mmm...mmmm....

Baby boobies....hopefully they don't become man boobies!!! With daddy!!!

Now this is the last post of THIS blog....I can't keep the same address...littlebabyhawkins...it just doesn't really fit anymore...:( plus, I would like something that incorporates the entire family....and NO I am not pregnant, and NO I don't plan on becoming pregnant ANYTIME SOON...I just want to blog under a different address. SOOOO....once this blog has been printed, I will change the name, and then I will become a little better (I hope) at blogging!! I have a ton of things that have happened after Nolan's birthday...well obviously, he does something different every week...So I will be sure and keep everyone posted when the address changes!! Thanks for reading...bubye for now!!!

Crazy Man Walking

Nolan is totally walking now!! Hardly even crawls at all!! I can't believe it!! He is such a crazy man....when I get my pictures organized, I will upload some of him walking more...these are not actually when he is walking, this was a couple of weeks ago at the Ranger Game. Yup, I broke some rules and let him stay up past 7:30!! He is getting to be a big boy now, so I told him he can do more things, ONCE in awhile :) He had such a good time!!!

He is so silly.....

He got a little crazy and didn't want to sit still...except for a cookie!! Just like his dad....

A little delirious...we only stayed until about 8:45, but still WAY past his bed time!!!

SUPER BUSY!!!

Rent houses are driving us craaazzy right now!! So here is a quick hello...

And I did it again....

Yup, when an entire month without posting anything!!! I don't have too much to say, just that Nolan is so crazy! He definitely keeps me busy! He had his 9 month check up last week and is just doing great!! He is so silly and such a happy baby!!! Here are a few things that have been going on....

Just being silly under my desk!!

I took him in this little sprinkler I bought him...didn't like it to well!! I think he thought it was a tad cold, I should have bought a pool, but since we have one right across the street, I thought the Sprinkler Seal made more sense...

Just being mad...he didn't like the grass either....

He loves playing with his truck!!! He hasn't quite figured out how to walk behind it, but he will walk behind it on his knees and bounce.

Mother's Day Flowers for mama!

My great experience...

So I know most of you have already heard me raving about the new Aldi foods!!! Soo excited! Well a couple of weeks ago, I must admit I did a little bit of a dorky thing. After I went to Aldi, I had to run to Target to get some additional things like towels, and a card. I was planing on doing most of my shopping at Target, because I didn't think that Aldi would have some of the things I needed like Plantains, Italian Dressing, Cookie Dough, etc. And honestly, I didn't think the quality of the produce would be worth getting, because Sprouts is usually REALLY cheap, but you kind of get what you pay for. BOY was I wrong. The produce was A-MAZING!! It was fresh, neat, you didn't have to pick through a million different things to find fruits not bruised or anything. I was THRILLED!! So onto my dorky thing...since I didn't get that much, as I walked through Target I marked how much it was at Target on my Aldi receipt. I wrote down the store brand of each product...look at my findings!!!
It is kind of hard to read, but I spent $41.37 at Aldi, and Target added up to $60.80, that's without the little bit of tax on a few of the items!!! That's almost $24.00 in savings!!!!! Not bad when you are trying to save money!!!

Happy Easter and 6 month pics at 7 1/2 months!!

Well I hope everyone had a splendid Easter! We had a great time in Wichita with our famililies...I really don't have too much to say except that Nolan is EVERYWHERE now and has already started to pull himself up!! We didn't get around to getting his 6 month pictures done, so they got done at 7 and 1/2 months...that's ok! I also took some pictures of him in motion, and on Easter Day, but I need to get those off of the camera, here are a few that we got done! ENJOY!

Such a little grin....

Would NOT let go of the eggs after this...

And we're moving.....

Nolan is really learning how to get around!! He hasn't quite mastered crawling, although he is almost there!! He will move a little and then go to his stomach. But boy can he get to something when he wants it...It's almost kind of sad how fast he is starting to grow up :(...I'm not trying to spoil him, but I definitely hold him a lot, because I know all to quickly he will be running around like crazy and not wanting me to hold him anymore. He has such a little personality now and is truly our little monster. Here is"monster" trying to go under the chair...he got stuck right after this picture and started crying. LOL...

He has two little teeth now!! You can't really see them in this picture, but they are there!! Just giving my best boy a kiss. Don't look at me though...kind of greasy..

Hailey had a "PURPLELICIOUS" party for her birthday. My two handsome fellas ready to go to the partay!!!
I have to keep Nolan busy while I am in the kitchen. This particular day I was cutting up veggies, and he got to enjoy a carrot!! Kept him busy for awhile!!

I am getting a little better at posting pictures on facebook...just not so great at blogging. I am going to try and continue to blog though..my very smart friend Kari told me I should print my blog out...what a great idea!! SOOO I decided that I am going to blog until Nolan is one, and then print it out for keepsakes. Blog2Print.com, is really cool, and they bind it for you and everything. I will continue to blog after that, just under something different, not "Little Baby Hawkins." So I have a little longer on this one, so I am going to try and be better!!! Funny how when I had so much time I would blog, basically about nothing, and now I have EVERYTHING to blog about, and no time...busy, busy, busy!! But every second is worth it!!!

My little monster!!!

So how can this be?? Jonathan and I are convinced that we are going through the terrible twos already..with the rolling around and whining when we are trying to get dressed, the arching the back when getting in the car seat, the bbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr when eating....what a mess!!! How can this be?!?! He isn't even crawling yet!!! LOL!! But boy is he a handful!! I love him to pieces though!!

Look at that boy...just looking to get into trouble!!

We are not sleeping through the night yet...but one time last week he went from 7p - 5a!! WOOT WOOT!! We are going places now!!! Now if this darn scrolling thing would get fixed with blogger!! It just takes way too long to upload pictures!! Until then I will just have to do short little snippets with limited pictures!!!

6 months!!!!!

My little baby is growing up sooo fast!! Already six months old!! At his 6 month check up he was 18.46 pounds, and 27 inches long!!! Big boy!! He is doing something new everyday it seems like!!! At his 6 month check-up, the doctor said he could start eating Puffs!!! He didn't really like them at first...He started sitting up!!! And is rocking now!!!

His teeth are juuuust starting to come in...I'll post more soon, but Blogger is being annoying about putting pictures up....it's not scrolling!!

Has it really been that long....

Well once a month....not too bad! OK so yeah that's really bad. I think my excuse is just that by the end of the day I just really don't feel like coming back upstairs to blog or whatever...but since I did have some new pics, I thought I might as well put them up!!


Well lets see what we are doing now...rolling over both ways...yea!!!, sitting on our changing table---not quite on the floor yet, grabbing at the dogs, still eating the feet, eating lots of different foods, holding the bottle...ya know the normal firsts. What I found funny was that in his baby book on the "My Firsts Page," the "My first time to sleep through the night," slot was the FIRST thing listed on the page....YET, we still have not filled that little section in. We are getting much better though. He is consistently waking up around 11:00 and 3:00 after going to bed at 7:00, and most of the time will sleep until 6:45 or 7:00 at the VERY latest. Can't wait to get the day started.


He likes to sit on his changing table while I clean up his room and fold laundry...anyone catch that?? Of course I am standing by him mom!!! :)
He loves his activity gym that Aunt Mimi got him!!!! It's so funny when he looks like he is running in place to the music.
He is just getting to be such a big boy! OH and probably the biggest accomplishment, no more swaddle!!! When I saw him roll over on the monitor, I was like OK and we are done with that. He didn't mind it really at all. I think it was probably starting to make him wake up more when he would try and bust out during the night. He's momma's best boy though!!
