Cory stayed at home yesterday - decided to use one of his sick days. He was doing a lot of stuff on the computer - and rightly so since he doesn't get a chance during the week usually - and that pushed my time back. And when I finally got a chance to do a few things, I was so exhausted that I just went to bed.

Oh, truely disgusting Accalia moment: Thankfully Cory dealt with it! Accalia was upstairs using the bathroom, and apparently there was no toilet paper nearby. So, she decide to use her fingers to try to wipe. Eew! Needless to say, Cory wasn't too excited about cleaning up poop from a variety of body parts.

Accalia was so excited yesterday because she and Cole got a package in the mail from their auntie Heather. Accalia loves getting mail. Every day she asks, "Did I get a package?" Heather sent an outfit for each of the kids, and Accalia just fell in love with the dress she received. Cole was more interested in trying to put the packaging in his mouth, but perhaps one day he'll appreciate clothes.

At this point, I really want Cole to figure out crawling. He wants to be on the ground when he's in my arms, and then he gets so frustrated on the ground because he can't go forward. Today I put him on the kitchen floor, and he scooted all the way back through the dining room into the living room. He looked thoroughly confused, too.

What's really cute is that Cole will wave and say "hi" when someone comes into the room. So, of course, Cory, Accalia and I start waving our arms up and down and saying "hi" in goofy voices whenever we see him after leaving a room. He just loves it and could stand there forever doing that. I'm almost positive he said "mama" the other day, but it's not something he's said since.
