Bye, Bye Wildman look

MID-WAY SNACK:


So, Ben had his very first haircut today. I was glad. Heather was a bit torn up, but kept it together :) He still has curls, just shorter hair overall. He handled it quite well, but did get a bit fussy towards the end, but never really cried. We ended up using Snip-its and I was pretty well satisfied with the job and with the environment of the place. There were lots of colors, lots of multimedia clips, and quite a number of toys for sale. All in all, a good choice.

You can see a few more photos here.

They grow up so fast...

Ben walked today and I didn't get to see it!

Heather and Ben went to a nearby daylilly farm to pick up some flowers for the backyard while I stayed at home and worked on cleaning up our office (which had become quite a wreck). While they were there, Ben took 10 steps in a row by himself. I definitely think that is counting as walking, but I just wish I had gotten to see it :(

It was nice he picked a date like 777 to walk on... :)

[UPDATE 7/9/07] I have since gotten to see Ben take a number of steps on his own...yeah! He still is more comfortable with crawling, but I'm sure that will change in time!
