Like most babies, Ben rubbed off the hair on the back (and sides) of his head. Needless to say, it's not the cutest hairstyle. I contemplated trimming it for a few weeks until I worked up the nerve to cut it.
I knew he was growing in blonde hair, but I didn't realize that trimming it would make such a difference! He's practically a different child! He looks more grown up, more VanDerwerken and less Standage, and more cute (if that's even possible!).
Ben didn't really like the actual cutting process - I'm sure the noise and vibrating of the clippers had something to do with that.
My little 4 month old is growing so fast! He loves his pacifier (even more now after going a week without it!). He doesn't tolerate being cradled in your arms unless he's going to sleep. He sings along with us as he's going to bed. It takes a lot to get him to laugh. He has realized that the carseat is really boring and lets me know it! And he gets totally bored when in the stroller, cart, or carrier. Instead of looking at the world around him he just sits there staring forward, totally zoned out. He sleeps great at night and well enough during the day. He's really righteous ;). The computer mesmerizes him. He loves baths and diaper changes. He's quite good at tummy time, sitting, and standing (with support, obviously).
Basically Benjamin is the coolest kid around.
