na-na and da-da...

these pics are from yesterday... cole was a bit impatient for breakfast- he thought it wasn't coming fast enough, as you can see from the whiny expression on his face!

ahhh- full tummy! "have breakfast, will wreak havoc". does this face look impish or what?

cole still love his decks of cards. stacking them, throwing them, eating them... it's all good! it was pretty funny, the way he looked at his card, ever so delicately turned it around and examined it, then just chomped it as hard as he could. see his pinky? the other pics are the same, his little pinky is poking out. he does that when he's snacking on one of his gerber graduates wagon wheels too. what a funny little boy!

we've been encouraging cole to differentiate between "mama" and "dada". or at least, we've been trying to. he knows who is who, and sometimes he looks at kelvin and says "dadadadada" (he's been a real daddy's boy lately...); last night on the way to meeting we were trying to get him to say "mama", since that's something we haven't heard. i'd say "cole, say mama", and the response i got almost every single time was a big grin, "dada" and a giggle. hmmmm. finally he did say something other than "dada"- it was "nana", so i don't know if he hasn't gotten the hang of the "m" part yet or what... i'm resigned to the fact that i might just be "nana" (or possibly "dada" #2) for awhile. [that was a joke- i know he'll get it sooner or later]

on a fun note, it's thursday, which means it's only two days from stroller pickup day! i can't wait- we're going to hit two birds with one stone on saturday, as there is a flatbed trailer that kelvin wants to look at in coolidge, which is in the same area. it's a bit longer than what he was originally hoping to find, and heavier and sturdier than the ones he'd looked at down here, but for a fraction of the cost of a brand new one. the guy who has it is an electrician as well, and knows the smits, so philip clued us in on this guy and the trailer he's wanting to sell. i guess someone owed him money, but ended up having his business close so he gave this guy his trailer instead, in place of the money. of course, the guy would rather have his cash, so we're going to take a look at it. kelvin's been saving cash here and there, so he's got half of what the guy is asking already, and the rest is in our budget (i guess...). so- hopefully it's what kelvin's looking for, since it would make him pretty happy to be able to use it for the trip home!

*oh, and all you fellow bloggers out there- does anyone have any idea why the comments on a post would just cease to exist overnight? my last post had 3 comments, now they're gone... it's like they never existed. no, they weren't deleted, they're just g-o-n-e, gone. any ideas??*
