A Weekend of Firsts

We had a busy weekend, what's new right? It was good though and well spent. Friday night we were pretty tuckered out from the week, which is usually the case, and so we rested. Saturday we woke up and took Ben to get his first haircut. My coworker Jen's husband is a barber so we took him there since it was someone we knew (kind of), and he's done lots of first haircuts. Ben sat on Daddy's lap the whole time and was a champ. Of course he's a wiggle worm, but we managed and he only kind of got annoyed once. Being the smart Barber Wil is, he suggested to bring one of Ben's movies, which helped a lot. Then daddy got his haircut, BUT since it was Ben's first, he got a certificate! We got to save some of his hair and tape it to the certificate.

Before and After!

Wil The BarberThen it was time for Ben's party! We got home and cleaned up the house the rest of the way, cooked and the troops started rolling in. We had a lot of fun, the weather was absolutely PERFECT, and Ben was really good! (He did get a 2 1/2 hour nap which really helped!)

Here was the cake eating. He liked the frosting a lot more than the actual cake of course. He was pretty cute.

Not sure why I decided that I needed to growl when forcing his hands in the cake... but whatever. Opening presents... look at how he's sitting! I love it!

After presents, he was pretty worn out... some people had left, we gave him a sippy with milk and he was OUT.

He also graduated to his new big boy car seat thanks to Nana! He really loves it and really didn't take much to adjust. He spends a lot of his time in the car with me, so I think that's why he does so well. He loves it though, it's a whole new perspective for him.

So it was a good weekend, we had fun! I'm going to bed now, because I went to bed late last night and I'm tired. Here's a little giggle to cheer you up if your feeling blue, or just to cheer you up!
