Haircut #2!

The other day the lady at the check stand said to me, "Oh she's a beautiful baby!" And the lady bagging agreed, "She is!"

You know what that meant?....

Haircut!!!

Ben seemed kind of scared by the buzzer at first.

But isn't that a handsome little boy?!

In Daddy's shoes...

The other day Ben came around the corner carrying both of Mark's shoes and then tried to put them on.

So Mark helped him put his feet into the shoes.

Which ended up being a little difficult (of course)...

So we put them on backwards!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

We "hid" Ben's basket and he found it...with a little help! We told him to find the duck and he kept pointing to a box with a yellow circle on it and saying, "duh". He was a little frustrated when we took away the box and told him to find the duck, but he eventually got it.

Ben immediately went for the eggs. He was fascinated in trying to open them...and then to find raisins and cheerios!

Photoshoot

Megan is such a great photographer. She dressed Ben up and took him out for a photo shoot on Stanford Campus. Here's some of my favorites!

Ben's First Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ben!

He started the day with his favorite: canned peaches!

And then we opened presents...

He loved the cookie monster card!

We sang Happy Birthday with a cake a neighbor friend made for him.

He didn't really dig in...

Unfortunately, he was still getting over the flu on his birthday...so we postponed his party until the following week: Tuesday, March 13

This time he enjoyed his birthday cookie!

First steps!

Jan 8 Ben took his first steps :) Since that time he has become more daring and less wobbly. He is now taking a few steps here and there all throughout the day!

Friends

Every Wednesday I babysit a girl in our ward, Kaia Reeder. She's about 7 months older than Ben.

Although you'd never be able to tell by the size of their heads!!
