tree decorating

yesterday we went to pick out our tree at the tree farm. cole is so infatuated by christmas trees so he had a good time helping up pick one out this year. he even helped to decorate the tree a bit!

santa!!

my favorite time of the year has come!! we took cole to meet santa tonight. as you can tell he wasn't too sure about him. in his defense being thrown on some strangers lap while your parents walk away probably isn't the best idea in the world to a kid. he beared it long enough though for a picture then decided to reach and call for daddy to rescue him.

wow!

he truly is a miniature brad!

maryland

this weekend we took a family trip down to maryland for the baptism of welles. cole had a good time playing with his cousin clare as well as running around the hotel room. he looked sharp for the baptism in his little dress shirt!

daddy time

cole is daddy obsessed. in recent weeks it is non-stop daddy. as soon as he wakes he begins asking for him. we have a lot of sad evenings because daddy is at work and cole wants him home!

big boy underwear

some days we like big boy underwear and the potty, and some days we do not!

parker
