a melt-your-heart moment...

... we've been having a lot of these lately! this is how the morning started here:i just LOVE the way madison's smiling at cole... kinda like"hey, it's you again! yay!"

big brother kisses! i don't know who's are more juicy, cole's or madison's...

enamored with the cute little person in the mirror

saying his new word: "uh-oh!!"

woah.

we're still fighting a persistent cold bug here. cole was up off and on last night coughing. i tried giving him a little honey but it just made him wake up and didn't do a whole lot to tame the cough. guess he was up more than i thought because he was still asleep (or rather, back to sleep) at 8. i know he needed the sleep but didn't want to have to fight with him at nap time, so i got him up. he had a 3 hour nap after lunch, though, so that was good. madison's just got a major case of the sniffles (mommy + bulb syringe x boogies = one mad baby). me, i've got some of both... most annoyingly, a sore throat the just won't leave. from what i've heard, though, we've only got a mild case so far.

in other news: dad's out in montana for a few days to spend some time with logan, elissa and coy. sarah is headed to new york for a week for her choir trip. huh. makes me kinda want to take a trip somewhere... somewhere tropical and relaxing, preferrably.
