Cassidy is here!

Snow-suited

Snow-suited

Well, as you all know, we've had a lot of this white stuff coming down lately and lucky for me, I've got a great little snowsuit and a tricked-out sled I got for Christmas to ride around in. It's hard to believe that in 1 week, I'll be a whole year old! Where does the time go? I tell you, back in my day, we had to pull our own sleds around the yard, which was all uphill, and we didn't have fancy snowsuits, our clothes were made out of straw. That's the way it was and we liked it.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures of me with rosy cheeks.

Ducks at the Park

These little buggers were found at Look Park, totally milking the system, just standing around looking for a hand-out. There must have been hundreds of them. I was happy to oblige!

Huyah, Mule!!

I find just about anything to be absolutely hilarious...

Birthday pictures will be up shortly! Bye for now - Cassidy.

My first Christmas!

So, many of you are seeing my blog for the first time after getting our Christmas card. I'm glad you came to see me and I've made a New Year's resolution to be better at updating you all here. I'm sure that if I fall off, you'll let my parents know, won't you!

I had a great time seeing all of my family at Christmas, even some that I've never met before at my Aunt Judy's house in Goshen. They were so much fun and I can't wait to see more of them, hopefully soon!

Who knew that there was this Holiday where everyone sat around and watched me tear into presents and eat wrapping paper, I can't wait to do it again, maybe in January?!?

You gotta fight...for the right...to unnnwrap!

I love my Nana!

So, this is a little late coming, I got a little caught up with all the leaves this fall, but for any of you who are keeping track of my stats, here's where I was at 9 months...

Height - 28" 70%
Head - 45.5cm 80%
Weight - 22 lb 10oz. 95%

Autumn Pictures

Well, things have been quite busy here at the Richardson house.

I've been learning how to stand (with a little help from furniture...)

I was a happy bat for my first Halloween...

...and got to play in my first leaf pile!

I'm getting really good at crawling, and can even kick it into high gear when I hear footsteps coming my way!

I had a great time at my Grammie and Grampie Richardson's house in Goshen! I'm looking forward to running around in the big yard they have!

I'll post more pictures soon!

Mainiac on the beach!

So, this is a little late coming, but let me tell you about the great time I had on vacation with my neighbors, the Teagues, in York, ME. We had so much fun, and I think I saw my Dad more than I ever have!

I got to see the place where my Mom and Dad got Married...

I played in (and ate) the sand as much as I could, with my friends Meghan and Erin. They are like my older sisters and always show me how to have fun. I think we're going to have fun like this all the time!

Sometimes I had a little too much fun (and sun)!

But I always had enough energy to flirt with the waitresses while Mom and Dad had lobsters in Portsmouth...

Score one for Dad's genes!

So, I had my 6 month appointment with Dr. Harvey last week. At this point, I'm onto his game, and he thought that bringing in a new nurse for the shots would distract me...well guess what... not my first rodeo! If he's serious, next time he won't call a rookie out of the bullpen.

Here are my new stats:

Height: 26" - 70th %
Head size: 44.5 cm - 95th %
*Weight: 19lbs. 3.5oz - 95th %

*Dad guessed 19lbs 4oz

Check back in two weeks, when I tell you all about my vacation and the brain research study that I rocked at UMass!
