First Haircut

Studies show that it may be true about pregnant women with more heartburn having hairy babies than women who do not experience that much acid reflux having babies with little or no hair. Needles to say, Baby Ben was born with a lot of hair-everywhere. (I, too, was a hairy baby. It must be a Gonzalez trait because Ben only had a hairy head.)

I loved Baby Ben's hairy head! It was just a cute mess, but it was making him hot and Benjamin suggested it was time for a haircut. I didn't want him to get a haircut because all mom's know that it's a sign of their little baby growing up. He was just born two months ago and already was needing a cut at nine weeks. I'm glad I wasn't there to see it or I would have cried.

As you can see, everything turned out fine. Ben and I went on a date night yesterday while Baby Ben was with Tia Ronnie and Star cut his hair before we picked him up. Of course he still looks cute, but he has a sort of mature look now.

Thank you Heavenly Father that you care about us so much that you even know the number of hairs on our head! Luke 12:7 (NIV) states, "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Does Baby Ben still have the same count?

Fast Forward

Baby Ben is already two months old. I can't believe how much he has grown. He eats 4-5 ounces now and is sleeping through the night. I get up once or twice to keep up with his milk demands and, I'll admit it, to make sure he's breathing. He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping.

I'm teaching him a few signs: milk, I love you, pacifier, mommy, daddy, grandma, and grandpa. I'll add in a few others as time goes on.

I love it when he smiles and coos! I sing to him and he doesn't even complain. This morning we were playing and I caught it on video. Enjoy!
