Gio is nearly ten months old. Time flies. He is such a character. He is funny and focused and such a boy! He is rough and tumble and in to EVERYTHING. He has three teeth so far, two bottom and one on top. I think he keeps biting is tongue too! Poor guy. To add to the pain in his mouth. But he is such a love. He looks at me (and frankly most women) with these deep bedroom eyes that make you want to just pick him up and snuggle him. And then he'll grin with that one dimple. Oh my goodness this child. The girls are going to swoon.
Bella is three! She continues to shine and be her amazing self. She is hilarious and strong and so fashionable. I finally had to institute a dress day/ drawer day rule because she would wear dresses every single day, and mostly I was sick of seeing the same things knowing there was an amazing collection of clothing going unused in her drawers. She's doing pretty well with it (clear, structured rules) and puts together these adorable outfits on every drawer day. I love (and loathe) her opinions. =)
Most recently I've been keeping busy with a few things. The first was planning a big birthday bash for miss Bella! (Read about it here Purple Princess Party). Also, we are going solar! We have contracted with a company to put photo-voltaic solar panels on our home to help control our crazy electric bill. I'm excited both from a financial and (more importantly) environmental perspective. I still have some other things to do (we have decided to sell the corvette, I know... and Bella will start preschool this fall!) but we've done quite a bit this summer!
In other news, I gave an interview today to a woman writing for the Huffington post. She's doing a series on breastfeeding (from all angles, good, bad and ugly) and I will be one of the women profiled! Once it comes out I'll share it. It was a good reminder to me that I have an interesting story that is worth sharing. I was told once upon a time that I should write a book. I keep thinking about that, but then ask myself why someone would want to read it. What is the point of my story? Hope? Strength? I really don't know. I'm afraid I won't be able to write it until I can answer that. But then think I probably will never have that answer and should just start writing. Perhaps it would reveal itself in the process. So I ask you- if you read this blog regularly, would you read my story in book form? Why? What do you find interesting here? Maybe it will help light a fire under me... =)
So there you go. That's my update for now! Here's a picture of my two crazy littles. I sure do love them!
