1st Haircut

Richie's hair was starting to look like a mullet so we knew it was time for him to go for his 1st haircut!  We made an appointment at a kids' salon that had race cars for seats in hope that Richie wouldn't be too scared of the person coming near his head with a sharp object; however, he didn't love getting his hair cut.  He wasn't screaming but was definitely trying to climb out of the chair.  The haircut actually came out pretty good though!  We are actually going to give him another haircut today but this time our wonderful friend Heather, who Richie knows, will be giving him a trim here at home!  Let's hope he's a little more cooperative for this one :)

15 Months

These pictures were taken right before Richie's 15 month check-up back in February.  He wore his best shirt and tie for his appointment.  He then weighed 20lbs. 8oz. and was 30.5 inches tall.  He was so good (as always) for the doctor and showed off his skills of walking and talking.  The doctor is happy with his progress and we will go back for his next check-up at 18 months!  

 We call Richie "Linus" because he loves his blankie.

All Smiles

How do you not love this smile?!  Richie was given this hat about a year ago while we were at a 76ers game.  The hat said "infant hat" but it was a bit too big a year ago.  It finally fits and Richie looks absolutely adorable in it if I do say so myself.  Typically, hats come off as soon as they go on, but as you can see from his smile Richie really likes this hat and will walk all around the house with it on.

Bucks County Children's Museum

Today, we met up with our friends - Sarah, Mike and their little guy, Isaac - at the Bucks County Children's Museum in New Hope.  It just opened back in November and it is such a cute place and it just the right size for kids Richie's age.  The boys had a blast and we can't wait to go back again!  Sorry a few of the pics are blurry - my camera was on the wrong setting and it took me a while to figure out how to fix it!

A busy weekend

Last weekend was a busy one.  On Saturday, we went to celebrate Zachary's 4 birthday at Happy Times.  Richie had a lot of fun on the rides and in the big ball pit!  

 Riding on the "Space Train"

 On Sunday, we went to the car show at the Convention Center downtown.  We had a lot of fun checking out all of the newest cars.

Smith's Playhouse

A couple weeks ago, Richie and I went to Smith's Playhouse in Fairmount Park.  It is such a fun place with three floors of play for kids ages birth-5.  And it's FREE!  Even better :)  Richie had so much fun exploring all the different toys and we will definitely be going back.  They also have an outdoor park that the kids can play on during the Spring through Fall.  Sorry my pics aren't the best quality - they were taken on my phone!

Snow!

We have had an unusually mild winter this year so when we finally got some snow a couple of weeks ago, we just had to take Richie out in it!  He wasn't a fan of wearing his little gloves or tripping over the snow because of his big snowpants but we made the best of it.  We probably stayed outside for a total of 5 minutes but here are a few pics from those 5 minutes.
