rainy days and the like

first off, i have to start by saying that this photo of madison is directed at my mom... does the thumb thing look familiar?? she started that on her own... like mother, like daughter!

cole and his lego table; he LOVES the legos, doesn't always remember that they can be used on the table and almost never likes putting them away. typical little boy! he gets the biggest kick out of the legos that have wheels... why, i'm not sure. he's got plenty of little boy toys with wheels, but the lego ones are his favorite.

i'm not sure either (but it's cute!!).

mommy and madison
it was SO gray and damp yesterday... no fun at all. cole's getting to the age now where the weather can affect his disposition, apparently. he was not the most pleasant child to be around!! the morning was fine, afternoon was a bit testy and by supper, well, let's just say we stayed home from meeting because we knew our chances of sitting down with either kid were non-existant. madison was pretty touchy too... just NOT a pleasant evening. cole still doesn't have his eye teeth, so i think that those are S-L-O-W-L-Y making their way through and he's been intensely picky at mealtimes too. and miss madison? well, she's been fairly good-natured... with the exception of a few normal cranky spells here and there. right now the big thing with her is her urge to get up and play in the very wee hours of the morning (like, between 1 and 3 am). no fussing, no acting hungry, just rolling around, kicking, cooing... cute, but not when it's still dark out!!
one other thing... the library has the tom pease albums that i couldn't find, so i checked them out, ripped them onto the computer and made my own cd's. now we have (almost) the complete collection for cole and madi! it was fun to hear some old favorites; i was amazed at how many of the lyrics and tunes i remembered!! yes, elissa, we have "banana slug"... and "many cows". good thing we didn't have a cd player in the van when we were young, or we'd never have made it past "many cows" on account of ted's obsession with farms then... oh, the memories!! :)
