Who is this kid?

Ok, so we finally admitted that Ben's hair was getting a little out-of-control. So after weeks of going back and forth, we took the plunge today and cut off Ben's beautiful locks. His hair has just been coming in like crazy, with lots of curls. I couldn't stand the thought of touching them..., until now. I felt it was time.

Now he's begging for me to make them stop...


And now... I feel like I have a different kid...

Wow what a transformation! He's starting to look like a "little man", and not a baby. Kids grow so stinkin' fast!
