First trip to Canada

Well Benjamin and I have been in Canada for 4.5 days and we already have a ton of pictures to show our activities :) He didn't sleep much in the 4 hr flight or the 4 hr car ride, but he was still very happy and the two of us had a wonderful time traveling together.

Birthday party

Benjamin went to his very first birthday party on the weekend for his friend Andrew (Andrew turned 1).

Jonathan and Benjamin

Here is a picture from Benjamins play time with his friend Jonathan (who is 7 months older and weighs less than him!)

First Haircut

I gave Benjamin his first haircut today, and from the 'after' picture below, I think he was quite pleased with it. I was happy to see he kept his mohawk (the hair on top of his head refuses to go flat).

Here are a couple pictures of Benjamin in my latest garage sale purchase! You have to LOVE that hair :) And so far, he and Maully get along just fine - although Maully does do a lot of head butting at his hands to make him pet her.

4 months

Benjamin had his 4 month checkup today and he now weighs 19lbs 3oz (97th percentile) and is 26.5" tall (90th percentile). His latest activity (besides his laughing) is eating rice cereal and making a mess while he does it!

Laughing!

Benjamin's cousins come to visit

Benjamin spent a fun week playing with his cousins Jonathon & Joel Kambulow, along with Grandma. Benjamin also went for his first swim in the pool!

3 months

Benjamin is now a little over 3 months old! And as you can see when comparing the above pictures, a lot has changed :) He is losing his hair all over, except for his mohawk! That continues to grow and can now be brushed down (which i find very sad! i loved his monkey hair!). Ben also has dropped his middle of the night feedings, which lets me sleep through the night! I feed him at 9:30/10pm, and don't see him again until 8am the next morning. Unfortunately, his beautiful night time sleeping still does not want to carry into the day. He has his internal alarm clock set so that he only naps for 30 to 45 min. But we are working hard on improving that! His other new trick is laughing - which makes Sam and I laugh right along with him! Unfortunately we can't post that on the web (yet! we are getting a video camera so we should be able to post little clips soon). And he loves to be walked around so he can look at things. This would be easy to do if he didn't already weigh 17lbs (approximately, did this on our home scale so not as detailed as the doctors office). He is definitely giving his mother a good workout and making me very grateful for the Bjorn carrier!
