1. Gus lost his first tooth this week. The tooth fairy, who may or may not have been watching a movie that evening, forgot to drop the money. Oops. Mom FAIL.
2. All three children went for a check-up today. Gus has grown 4 inches in the last year. FOUR INCHES. My tall days are numbered, I can feel it. Will is in the 80th percentile for height. No wonder there is never any food in the refrigerator.
3. It turns out Superbaby is running a little on the small side. The pediatrician recommended we fatten him up. This means pretty much all the cheese and avocado he can eat.
4. We got a cat. She never, ever shuts her mouth and she likes my husband the best. Gus named her Pearl. She's cuter than an Olympic gymnast (though about the same size). Fat Leo has decided she's, like, SO annoying. God.
5. I am starting my own photography business, which is why I have spent so much time in absentia. Look for me in situ soon! I'm working for free, which is fun AND incredibly time consuming. Here's hoping people will pay me to take their pictures, which will fulfill my dream of a creative career that also leaves me time for my children.
6. I got an 85mm f/1.8 Canon lens in the mail yesterday (see #5). It's an investment and a toy. See? Starting your own business is full of unexpected expenses and happinesses!
7. If you're local and need a family portrait, I am one of the photographers for BOLD Gainesville. They're having a fundraiser on June 7th, so come on out and get yer picture taken to support mother-friendly birth practices. Seriously, people, this is a group of intelligent and beautiful women, and I am pretty excited to be working with them.
I wish you could take our family portrait. That would be awesome. Good luck with the business!
