cool kids

we finally have central air!! after seven years of sweltering through the summer, we'll be comfortable this year... the summer that i'm NOT pregnant. how ironic. anyway, the thing works like a charm- the guy that installed it said that they look for a cooling difference of 15 to 20 degrees (when they test it) and ours was cooling 21 degrees. fine with me!! (insert big grin here)

one of cole's new things is "talking" on the phone, but he has to sit on the step to do it.

my goofy, sweet, darling boy...

cole was absolutely fascinated by george (the guy that came to install the a/c- he was here to help with the furnace too, so i think cole might have remembered him a little. maybe.)- he was glued to the window sill for quite awhile. he'd have climbed right out to "help" if the screen hadn't been in his way!

while cole was watching george and telling him stories (seriously- he was just babbling away like nobody's business), miss madison was playing with her oceanwonders aquarium. as soon as i put her down, she attempted to gather all three dangling toys together and pull them off. she couldn't, of course, but it was funny!

smiles for mommy! (shy smiles- she's not that thrilled with the camera sometimes...)

and one final thing- i've opened an etsy shop and it has one lonely item in it. that is, until today:

presenting the green vanilla baby diaper cover! it's an accessory item and designed off the top of my head. i would like to make a baby boy one, i'm just not sure exactly how i want to do it. anyway, if anyone's interested, hop on over to the green vanilla baby blog to learn more!
