Halloween Preview

Having a kid has changed halloween dramatically.  No longer can we just ignore the holiday, or rely on last second decisions for what costumes we will wear.  We need to search thoroughly to make sure that Hawkes is the cutest trick or treater on the planet.  Thats a lot of pressure, especially since its his first one.  We have had a couple of tryouts for costumes so far, with a few more ideas in the pipelines.  

This first costume is from Tia Steph.  I have to say, it may be hard to beat this.


He did get tired of the picture taking pretty quick.


Meg had the idea that he could be the baby from the Addam's Family movie.  



I couldn't really remember the baby from the movie, but before I knew it Meg returned from the bathroom with Hawkes looking like this.


Maybe if he had a mustache people would stop thinking he is a girl.

It's a Girl!!!!!

No, Meg is not pregnant.  It's just that, with the help of random strangers, we have finally been convinced that Hawkes is a girl.  Doesn't matter if he is wearing blue shorts with sharks on them, suspenders, or a red polo shirt, we get at least one comment a day on how preciously adorable our little girl is!!!

"Oh isn't she sweet!"


"Oh, isn't she a doll!"


"Look at that cute little girl!"


"Where did she get her beautiful blue eyes?"
