On the move - but still not walking!

Our boy has gotten so active - you can practically blink and he gone!

Still loves looking over the balcony

Reaching out to get me downstairs!

Birthday breakfast before Bennett's first haircut at Five Forks Cafe in Williamsburg

After his haircut we went to my friend Amanda's joint 25th bday party/her dad's retirement party

Bennett had a blast eating angel food cake and chasing little girls! 

My handsome guys

Matching handsome guys!

This little girl was having fun running away from Bennett - giggling and running!

Family portrait attempt 

Apparently Bennett didn't want to be in the photo

So this part is for Katie...

She thought that we didn't really try with her birthday sign since we ended up taking it to one of his toys...

Here are all the attempts!!

Checking out the sign

Wrinkling the sign

Close up looking at the sign

Tasting the sign

Clapping for the sign

His "you haven't gotten a good one yet mom?" look

Trying to hold the sign on his toy

A smile where you can see the sign... I'll take it!

My Chris baked me a birthday cake and got me flowers

Shopping with Bennett - I deserved a Starbucks after that trip!

Enjoying the nice weather

Chris did a 5k with some people from work - Color Me Rad - where they throw colored cornstarch (or something) at you as you run by... 

It rained but Bennett and I were planning on going to watch. Instead we just met daddy outside to see him covered in color before he got cleaned up

Yes... That's a tutu :)

He's moved on to pushing 2 toys at once... But still not walking on his own!

Any day now!

Bennett's First Haircut

Before and After

We decided it was time... We took Bennett to get his first real haircut at this kids salon called Pigtails Crewcuts.  I had heard great things from my coworkers about this place - and one of Chris's coworkers was actually the one who recommended the place to us first!

Located in Williamsburg, it was a bit of a hike to get to - but I figured it would be well worth it for a positive first haircut ting experience.

Bennett got to sit in a police car!

Getting his cap on!

He did not like it at first... I think he didn't understand where his arms went...

He was very curious about the whole experience

Very curious - and questioning as you can see from his expression!

Good thing there were lots of other kids there to distract him!

Kind of enjoying his hair being played with?

Discovering that he could still play with things...

 

A magnetic troll was on the stearing wheel that he discovered near the end of his haircut

He looks like a natural born driver!!!

Final product! 

Handsome dude!

Had to check out the train table before we left

Very amused!

This wasn't the prettiest picture of both of us - but I wanted to share because the smiles were genuine! 

Happy Birthday to this momma!
