Wow! How quickly time flies! This has been a whirlwind summer for the Hatmaker's.
Mommy lost her job the first week of June. While we were not prepared for that, God was! He had gone before and prepared a way for Mommy to run her own business and stay home with Jax. A dream come true and so many prayers answered. Now we are in the "trusting God for enough business to stay afloat" phase. So what is this dream come true? Mommy has started an embroidery business. She is monogramming and decorating every one of my burpies and as many outfits as she can find. Mom is even going to have a website
http://www.heartstringstn.com/. It's not up yet, but will be soon, so check back. If you need anything monogrammed, give her a call!
Daddy started some job training in May that lasted until the 4th of July! Then he had a whole week off and we played and played! Now, he has works on bigger plans at CIGNA and will be a better candidate for a promotion at review time. He has worked very hard on our yard this summer and it is looking so good. He and Mom keep talking about landscaping where they pulled all the bushes out last summer, but they end up playing with me and putting off that yard work! Yay!
Now to the tidbits of our summer that you really came here for! All about ME! Well, I am officially on the move! June was a great month of snuggling and playing with Mommy while she took a little time to relax from all the poop with her old job. July started off a little slow as well until the 4th. I went to sleep on the 3rd with no teeth and woke up on the 4th with TWO! My first tooth was really teeth and it seems to have been just the beginning. The very next week I was finally able to sit up all by myself! The next week I started scooting a little bit and now I am going almost anywhere I want to and beginning to pull up. I am discovering a whole new world! Do you know what all Mommy pulled out from under the couch after I chased a ball under there? There were catalogs, magazines, a paci two more balls that must have escaped on their own and something she called dust bunnies. I don't know what they are, but they taste bad, get your mouth scrubbed and the whole living room got mopped!
Today, I fell off Mommy and Daddy's bed. It made Mommy cry more than me, but we're both ok. I landed on the front of my head and it didn't even make a big bump, just a little bump and a giant red spot from rubbing on the carpet. Mommy was right there and scooped me up and checked me all over. She called the Dr. and they told her what to watch for. I wish I could say the words "Leave me alone, I'm FINE!", but I can't, so Mommy has poked me every time I've napped, pried my eyes open all day to check their dilation and almost rubbed all the hair off my head feeling for swelling. "Really, Mom, I'm OK!" Anywho, I'm about to call it a night. Hope you enjoy the pictures I've chosen. Just a few of my faves, first 4th of July, first lemon, first kiss and a couple of real smilin' shots!
Hope y'all are doing great and I'll try to keep you updated more often!
Hugs!
Jax
