Snow Boots and Flip Flops

Cole is going through a "I do it myself" phase. His most spoken words are "Cole do it!" Sometimes it's frustrating (like when he wants to change his own diaper) but other times it's just cute. Like when he wants to dress himself. In flip flops and a hat.
Or just snow boots. In May. With a diaper.

He gets a big kick out of wearing his brother's pajamas too. Because pajama pants totally complete the outfit, am I right?!

Underwear

Cole picked out his first big-boy underwear today. He couldn't decide between Thomas the Train and Cars and adamently insisted on getting both. So I told the cashier to pick on and leave the other out and it worked! So I think we're going to slowly introduce potty training. He has a potty and he's used it in the past but now that he knows he has his own free will he has decided to refuse so this may be a very long process.

A VERY long process!

Just 'cause he's cute

Haircut

Saturday I spent the entire day out and away from the family shooting a wedding with my sister. Friday night Cole looked like this:
Imagine my surprise and sadness when I came home to this:

Yeah, I know, he's way handsome. But he's just not the same!
