Getting together an online business


So as some as you know I've been thinking about going on to etsy and starting a little business. Well I opened a shop but I need to post some things to sell. I have a couple of dresses already but I had trouble getting the pics not to be blurry so I need Pete to help a little. I decided to do custom dresses and jumpers where the customers can pick the fabric and smocking design as well as some premade things so wish me luck. I have to thank Molly for already supporting me by buying some crochet hats that I've been making and to Cami for her support and Lilly for future modeling as well as Erin and probably Marissa. Here are some pics of Justin in the romper I started yesterday night and finished today. He looked so cute in it and I most amit I was kind of proud of how it turned out. I don't know how well you can see the design but it has a little smocked airplane on the front. Thanks to my sweetie for being my little boy model until he grows out of the stage where these things are acceptable. I'll post my shops website as soon as I get something on there so you can check it out. Thanks again. Love you guys.

Like Father Like Son

After his cookie for dessert this evening Justin had a goatie that looked just like his father's. Boy do they look alike.

Justin 11 months

I don't think Justin is smiling in any of these monthly pictures. Lets just say it is extremely hard to get him to smile most of the time. So as you can tell from his Halloween pics he is learning to walk. I wonder if he'll be walking on his own by his birthday but I don't think so. He is starting to clap after music is done playing and when he is excited or did something fun. Which is very cute. He makes this awful face in which he pushes his lips like he is kissing but he brings his eyebrows down. He does this whenever something does anything he doesn't like.

Dreaded Sea Dragon Pirates

Justin took his first two steps on his own at trunk or treat. He loved to carry his bucket around so much that if anyone touched it he would throw a kicking tantrum. His first too by the way. Well yeah he complained about us taking things from him but never the throw himself back kick his feet and arms type. I was horrified that he threw his first in public. At first I just tried to get the bucket back to him as fast as possible then I realized I was teaching him the wrong thing so I took the bucket away for a couple of seconds to let him get over himself. But he most have really loved that bucket. I did Pete and my makeup. A lot of people said they liked it and unfortunately I did not make our costumes this year but next year I have full plans to. So I am coming up with ideas now and I'll hopefully start next summer. We had a great time at Emily's Halloween party. Where we got to hit a pinata and let me just tell you I losen it up for Pete to actually break it open. I think she had lots of other games to but we left at 10 because that was the lastest we could get Justin to stay up to. But it was a really good time anyway.

10 Months 1 week


Okay so I am putting this up way late but Justin figured out how to turn off the computer and so I can only come on here when he is sleeping and of course that is really the only time I have to do anything so yeah this hasn't been top priority. But nothing really grand had happened that month. He still pulled himself up on everything, says ma mam mama for just about everything and is as active as ever. I don't know how I am going to keep up with him when he decides to walk. I think Pete may come home and I will be laying on the floor half dead and Justin will be running circles around my body or maybe even jumping up and down on me we shall see. Hey maybe it will help me lose my last 5 pounds that I am having trouble with to reach my goal for this year. I can always hope.
