Sorry about the Picture Tease

For some reason my new phone won't send pics to blogger. So they just came up as a bunch of boxes (for me at least).

Here is what I meant to show you....

My 11lb nephew, Aliyasun Charles!


And one of Keagan, on the quilt I made him.

Things have been going pretty good lately. Etsy is still doing well. I am working on an order of 19 plushies for Facebook now. :) Sweet huh!

Keagan is "walking." She doesn't really get very far yet, but she can travel about 1.5 feet. It's pretty cute. See?



She also started clapping today. We have it on video, but I haven't uploaded them yet. My computer is old and running out of room, so I'll have to fix that first.

Also, she spent the last two nights sleeping in her crib in her room instead of in the crib in our bedroom. It's MUCH further away, but she is more comfortable and slep through the night both nights, 9-10 hours. It's pretty sweet.

10 Months

Keagan turned 10 months old Saturday. :) How cute.


She stands a lot. Has even taken a few steps, but maxes out at 3, usually 1.5.

She points at things.

She kind of says "more" but its more like mama then more.

Keagan Pic!

She's a cutie with 4 teeth and working on some molars.

Happy Vappy Day!

More Krispy Kreme's! Those doughnuts are actually good. :)

And cute Keagan! Hope you had a happy Valentine's Day!

Look Ma! No Hands!

Keagan has taken to standing lately. I mean just on her own. She gets into a standing position while leaning on something, like me or Shannon, a box, couch, etc. Then just lets go and stands on her own for anywhere from 2-20 seconds. It's quite impressive. :)

She enjoys celery. Recently, tearing it to shreds in about 1 minute with her two little teeth.


And Parmesan chunk flavor didn't seem to bother her either.

January, the Slow Month?

So, things calmed down a bit in Etsy land after Christmas. But I'm still selling about 2 items every 3 days, so plenty to do.

But an update on life outside of Etsy!

We spent Christmas in Garden, with a short Wichita Christmas on Christmas Eve morning. Keagan looked adorable in the dresses Mom bought her.



She and Cassidy had a swell time playing with boxes,



with corn, and with other random things,


including each other.


They even had a "sleep over" with Aunt Michelle.



We spent New Years in Wichita.


We watched K-State sadly lose the Pinstripe Bowl on the 30th (that was a crummy games, the refs sucked as did the field) with Andy, then we went to Cirque Du Soleil on New Years Eve. That was pretty neat. Not as good at Trans Siberian, but fun.


We partied with sick babies over New Years and just had a nice time with family.


Keagan has two bottom teeth, one cut before Christmas, the other about 3 days after Christmas. It's hard to see them though, that tongue likes to get in the way.

Old Things

This is a crazy old cookie jar in Grandma Fuller's house. Thought it was worth a share/reminder.

Etsy and Crawling and Eating and...

There are three major things that have been going on. One is Etsy.

That has pretty much taken up ALL of my time since 3 days after Thanksgiving. I've been sewing, embroidering, stuffing, cutting, soldering, foiling, mailing, and just doing stuff for Nausicaa Distribution almost non-stop. I've had about 5 nights of being up until 5am since then. And the rest the earliest I've gone to bed is midnight, but that only has happened about 3 times. Usually I'm up until about 2 or 3 am making things while Keagan and Shannon sleep. It's been crazy busy, but so awesome! Since 11/28/10, when things started getting busy, I've sold 204 items. Yes, 204. That means that over a span of 23 days I averaged 8.9 items a day. That is crazy! :)

During that time I've also been on the front page of Etsy (sweet), posted about on GeekMom, and featured in the ASA Holiday 2010 Gift Guide (super sweet!).

Okay, but on to things not Etsy (which doesn't happen much). Keagan. How's she been? Great! Since Thanksgiving she's totally mastered crawling. At Thanksgiving, she could rock like a pro. This video is from 1 week before Thanksgiving.

Now, well, she crawls like crazy. She goes from room to room, over carpet, tile, blocks, dad, anything in her way, if she see something she wants. She started to crawl about 1 week after Thanksgiving and has just gotten continually better. Yesterday she even balanced herself from crawl to a lean to a stand, for about .5 seconds she stood. :)

We've also been feeding her more foods. Instead of her reaction being *gag* its now *eat*. Much better.

Gag...

Eat...

And... the fourth thing... Keagan is getting teeth! You can feel two little fellas on the bottom and almost see white. :) She's been pretty good about it. A lot of chewing and drooling and fussing and waking up during the night. But she's been pretty happy still.

HOLIDAYS!! are coming.

So, I've been super busy lately. But I'm not dead. :) Here is some Christmasy cocoa in a sweet mug from the grandparents in Lakewood and a banana browned butter muffin. Mmm. :)
