Nolan's Nursery

Nolan's Nursery has been a work in progress for about a year, it's been finished twice now...and hopefully for the final time. Right after I got everything in his nursery complete and set up he was born and I was so busy being a new/tired mom/zombie that I never got around to taking pictures. I kicked myself later when I caught the kitchen on fire and after a chain of events his room was back in shambles and needing to be reassembled (I wont go through the details but lets just say Hallelujah its DONE!) As soon as I got things back together this time I took pictures!

So here is is, my favorite room in the house.



Thank you Chris and Jessica for such a great way to remember my first birthday !



These are photos from our showers and signatures of everyone who attended.
This way Nolan will see how much he was loved before he even got here!

3 MONTHS!

Nolan is 3 Months Old! 

We are finally back in our house and starting to get back to some normalcy so I am playing catch up with the blog posts.

Little N is now Three Month Old! I cannot believe it (I know I say that every time I post something about him). He LOVES standing & is still not a fan of tummy time, but we do it anyways. He has started to do crunches as we like to call them...if we lay him down on any incline whatsoever he can pull himself to the upright position, scary :). He is really starting to sit up a lot, most of the time he ends up in the pancake position after a few minutes but it wont be long and he will be sitting up with no trouble at all. Right now we have lots of gurgling, cooing, yelling and spit bubbles going on, boy does he love his spit bubbles. He is fascinated with Becks and being outside. Any time he is upset and can't be calmed all it takes is a step out the front door and all his worries are cured (which happens very seldom, we have a pretty happy boy on our hands). Nolan is such a morning person and has really learned to chuckle which is his new favorite thing to do at 5 am. Will and I have already said that we are in for it when baby #2 comes around (hopefully not for a while :P ) because Nolan has been SO EASY that we know we're due a screamer, he is such a good baby!



And the window of opportunity has CLOSED :)

 



Easter 2011

 The Easter Bunny left a Jumparoo, an airplane egg hunting basket and lots of swimwear for this summer at our house.

After Church we went to Will's side of the family's Easter lunch and spent a good amount of time in the storm shelter hiding from tornadoes.

SPOOKY!



I didn't take this picture but this is what decided to show up in Gallatin on Easter Sunday
 (I have to admit it made my stomach hurt the first time I saw this picture...so close)

This is the only picture I got at the Hampton/Campbell side due to the storm interruption but Pops and CC (I mean the Easter Bunny) gave Nolan lots of toys along with a quacking duck that Nolan LOVES!



4 Generations of Campbell Men

We went to my parents house after the coast was clear to celebrate with my family ... and a second meal.

LOOK WHO STOPPED BY!  



Not so sure at first...



Ahh, this guy is pretty soft!



Petrified :P




She always was attracted to the weird ones :P



Not sure what to say about this...no caption necessary.

Really Grana, a SPEEDO!? ...haha!



He is so ready for the beach after this Easter!

WHAT A GREAT DAY!

Bath Time, Teething and Snuggling

Just a little update on this dreary/stormy Friday afternoon.

When we first started bathing Nolan he would scream, arch his back and clinch his fists really tight...needless to say he wasn't a fan, however, since we've been using the baby bath spa things have taken a pleasant turn. Needless to say, I wish I could remember the last time I had a bath this relaxing!

Yes, he fell asleep!

We are Teething Like CRAZY!

Month #2

Nolan is TWO MONTHS OLD!

These are being posted a little late since we just got our ugly dolls returned to us so this is actually Nolan at 10 weeks. He is changing so much and is such a little BOY! there is nothing about this child that doesn't scream ALL BOY. Every sound, noise, expression and movement he makes has become a true warning that I better get ready, I've got a wild one on my hands!

He rarely cries, not to be confused with tantrums, those occur quite often. He loves standing & hates tummy time, LOVES to eat, grins from ear to ear at the phrases "Can you say mama?" (my personal favorite), "I Love You", "You're so Good" and "Where's Beckett!?", Yells when you burp him (his tantrums are accompanied by yelling and grunting more than screaming) and is the biggest cuddle bug EVER! Every morning after his early feeding time we just snuggle up in the bed and it's perfect! I never thought 6 am would be one of my favorite times of day. He is trying really hard to talk to us, he gargles and coos more frequently and he has a lot more control of his hands. He loves gripping tight to my hair and anything else in his path.

When he smiles it’s the biggest open mouth grin accompanied by a swift head toss to the side, cutest thing ever!

 

Nolan has started to lose interest in the wubbanub "wubba" during the day and is instead sucking on his fist/fingers/thumb and is starting to make losts of spit bubbles. Bring on the DROOL!

 

After yesterday I must also admit that I’ve had baby vomit in my mouth... great right!?



"Ok Mom CUT-IT-OUT!"
