It's Official!

Carter Hahn is crawling!

Christmas Eve was the first time he got on his hands and knees rocking back and forth..so it took him a month to perfect it!

All week he has been getting so close..he can get to the sitting position all by himself now and vice versa...he has been creeping on his belly and crawling a tiny bit but tonight he crawled arcoss the room!

It helps if there is something he really really wants..usually something forbidden. Tonight is was a slat out of blinds I shortened, he grunted all the way to it! Of course I have no pictures of that but here are some others!

Boy am I in trouble now..look out!

Check this out!

She has a really cool blog...you should add it to your blog reads!

I had jury duty today!

I was hoping to get out of it..this is my 3rd time called. The first time my mom and I were both called at the same time. But she was going through chemo and we both we excused.

The second time..it was cancelled.

This time is was rescheduled from yesterday to today.

I was dreading it until I got there..and soon I realized this could be great entertainment! (I don't get out much these days) LOL

After 2 hours of 30 or so people sitting in a small room in dead silence trying not to look at eachother...we found out the defendant pleaded guilty and we were free to go..however our duty is not done. I have to call the recording tonight to see if I have to go back tomorrow.

Lets hope by then they will have read my breastfeeding excuse...its legit!

hmmmmm..On second thought...I am out of the house alone..:0

Todays new Listings

Last night at 9:30 I suddenly found myself alone..I put Carter to bed and Chris went early too. He is still feeling the effects of having the flu.

So I actually sat at my bead table and made a few things...lil C woke up several times so I had to take a "rock break"

His runny/teething nose wakes him up and he panics cause he can't breathe..but after getting up a few times at first he most always sleeps through the night. yea!

This is the view from my bead room this morning..not much beading getting done but the scene of the fresh snow sure is pretty!

Its darn cold, below 0...and I've had enough..but no one asked me..a least I have entertainment..here is a sample...:)

Little boy has grown since the last pictures of him on his changing table..he is in his new room and can do some new tricks!

He is all over the place and its like wrestling a greased pig to get his diaper changed..I call him "mr hands" haha

He turns over and scoots backward..sometimes knocking everything off the dresser ...

Everything catches his attention!

I don't know why we bother buying toys...he LOVES anything that is not!

attack!

8 Months Old!

Yesterday was my birthday and its was Carter's too!

At midnight Chris and I were still up talking...I looked at the clock and said.."yea now I'm 42."

By 12:30 he started getting the chills and shaking so bad I could feel the bed move..he said he was so cold and he shivering so bad..at 2 am I was calling our doctor.

He had just been there that day and they gave him a tetanus shot because it had been so many years since his last one.

So naturally we assumed he was having a reaction..the doctor didn't think so but he said to watch him..

so it was a long night..he got a fever..body aches, headache and still the shivering..I was really scared several times. We got no sleep at all.

And with Carter still teething and that darn runny nose that chokes him at night I thought I was in for it..but thank goodness he only got up once and slept until 8:00.

We ended up going to the doctor that morning..another small blessing was his mom was off work that day so she came over to watch Carter.

Turns out he has the flu..so glad he got that flu shot.

We all did..I hope it works better on Carter and I.

The nausea followed yesterday and he was pretty darn miserable..but now he is starting to get better..just weak.

It was a pretty non existent birthday ..I was making chicken noodle soup to one and sucking snot out of the other! (you guess which one) haha

and he feels so bad about it..but I told him I'd take a raincheck..

or snow check seeing all the snow we got today. Its so beautiful with the big soft snowflakes. I normally love being holed up inside with a good snow..but not this year with everything we have gone through this winter

I'm ready for spring!!!

back to the jewelry!

Carter is getting his 4th tooth and its a doosie!

It's one of his top ones and he has had the worst runny nose ever! Poor little guy..one night was so bad he kept choking on the gunk running down his throat. He has such a soft cry but this time he got really loud and even had a maaaaaa in there!

I took him to the Doctor..he thinks he may have a little cold also...I don't know but he is getting somewhat better now. That tooth has yet to break the skin though.

He is going to have a mouthful of teeth ..he now something is different in his mouth, he makes some funny faces!

I remembered today that I promised to post pix of jewelry I made in December...these are all either gifts I gave or custom orders for local customers.

Tonight I actually got to make some new jewelry! Sometimes I make a piece here or there but I made 2 bracelets, 3 earrings and a quick ring!

Now lets see how long it takes me to get them photographed and listed :)

Christmas at the Hahn's

I'm just now getting around to our Christmas Day pictures..To our surprise he tore into his gifts! Of course liking the paper, bows and boxes the best!

On Christmas Eve he got up on his hands and knees rocking back and forth for the first time..Christmas Day he was almost sitting up on his own, just needing some support.

Now he can sit pretty good all by himself.

He now has 3 teeth all on the bottom AND today I spied one of the top ones starting to bud!

Daddy showing him what Santa brought!
