Sun and clouds

For the first time in what seems like months, it's a (partially) sunny day here in our rainy city! It's mild outside and the sun's shining and we are soooo happy about it. The gray weather gets a little old by this time in the year.

We just had a wonderful time gardening outside....until our little guy launched himself into the biggest meltdown he's had in recent memory. He was trying to play in the alley next to our house and Sacha had to quickly pick him up when a car wanted to go by. M just totally lost it. He would not be consoled by either of us, which is very unusual for him. He had been cranky for a lot of the morning, but had been holding it together until that point. He just screamed and screamed and screamed while we both tried to comfort him until he finally let me nurse him down to sleep. We think he was probably tired and hungry and his teeth were hurting and maybe that just pushed him over the edge. It was quite the display of lung power, though. Hopefully he'll take a nice long nap and feel better when he wakes up.

On a happier note, I took some photos the other day of things Mateo likes to do in the mornings. Here are some of them:
