Ben Gets his First Haircut!

After going about three and a half months without a haircut, Ben's hair was really been getting long.   He definitely looked very cute with his 'shaggy' look, but I was starting to think that with those long curls in front of his ears, people were going to think we were Jewish!  

You can't see the side curls too much in this picture, but they're there...    So I decided that I could give him a quick trim myself.  I never cut anyone's hair before, but I've watched my barber many many times, so how hard could it be.  Well, the difference is that I keep my head still... Ben, not so much.   Everytime I came close to him with the scissors to cut some hair, he would turn his head to try and see what I was doing.  Jill did her best to keep him focus on something else... and after a bit of time, and quite a few laughs, we finally got his hair cut.

Look how cute!  He looks like a real little boy now! 

He's not eating solid foods just yet, but he's been sitting up pretty well lately, so we tried putting him in his high chair right after his haircut too.  He liked it in there...  he's just waiting for some food now.

He watches everything that we eat - from the plate, up to our mouths...  its just a matter of time before we fill up that entire tray and he eats it all! 

Ben has his four month check up on Monday this week - he's just about 18 pounds now and 27 3/4 inches.  He's growing so fast!
