After Bean’s haircut yesterday (and before the colossal meltdown at dinner that night), we took him to the park with Chris’ sister, Annie, to celebrate what a big guy he was getting his hair cut. It was his first time in a park. I think he liked it. What about you?

1) Jessica: He looked like he has so much fun! I love the pic of Chris and Bean on the swings together. Adorable! (03.25.2010 09:16am)
2) Jessica @ How Sweet: Just read the other post. Yes, this definitely makes me want one. And even in the other one, he still looks sweet as pie. (03.25.2010 09:19am)
3) Katy: Mmm...pretty darn cute, but I don't know. I had this fantasy about babies being easier than puppies in that at least you could take them with you places... Who am I kidding? Definitely cute enough to be tempting. (03.25.2010 09:28am)
4) Danielle Melnyczenko @ danimezza.com: Bean looks like a whole new baby. Digging the do little dude. (03.25.2010 09:30am)
5) Catherine: Oh my God. Adorable! (03.25.2010 09:36am)
6) Nate's Mom: AAAAAAH! That haircut! SO DAMN CUTE! Nate went in a swing for the first time last week at My Gym. He didn't ever want to get out. He was probably hoping that I'd push him so high that he would have the opportunity to flip out of the swing (daredevil that he is!). Sorry about your dinner adventures but I'm with you. Parenthood has made us feel bad about passing judgment on all those parents in restaurants that we encountered prior to becoming parents ourselves.... And, as the kid's parent, I think we're hypersensitive to situations and (hopefully) strangers didn't think it was all that bad....hopefully.... (03.25.2010 09:39am)

10) Kat: Oh my gosh is he the cutest Bean ever! I just love that new haircut! And your pictures are amazing. What settings are these taken in? (03.25.2010 09:55am)
11) deepa: It's all about the swings and slides at our place! We have a few playgrounds within a 10 minute walk and my son just loves it there. We have pictures of him from last winter, all bundled up, propped up by pillows in the swing (now he has grown into the seat), with a face full of glee. Nice hairvut - the bean cleans up well!

14) Mara: You guys look like such FLORIDIANS!! Welcome back to a life where having a winter wardrobe means putting on socks once in a while. I hope you enjoy every moment!! :) (03.25.2010 10:38am)
15) Katie: Its like riding a bicycle... :) (03.25.2010 12:05pm)

21) Katie: Welcome to my life. If he wasn't so darn cute and snuggly, I'd give him to Goodwill. :) (03.25.2010 01:13pm)
22) Tracy: Seeing his totally adorable bare feet makes me terribly jealous. Here in Oklahoma we had snow a few days ago, and a cold, yucky rain today! Congratulations on your move - it's such an exciting time for your family! (03.25.2010 01:50pm)

25) Holly at Perrydise: Oh my!! Beautiful pictures! We have tried out swings recently too :-) (03.25.2010 02:56pm)
26) Lee Ann: Maybe during the restaurant meltdown, Bean just wanted to be back on the swing? Maybe when you got into the car, he thought you were taking him to the park (read "fun") when in realty, you were taking him to some boring (read "adult conversation") restaurant? Cause he sure looks like he's having fun here! (03.25.2010 03:00pm)
27) kirsten: He's so happy and precious ... melts my heart and secretly (or not so secretly now I guess) makes me want to have another baby (03.25.2010 03:05pm)
28) Christina: After just reading about Bean's meltdown this definitely helps remind you of happier times and a good balance of life with a little tot! He's so darn cute!!!! (03.25.2010 03:23pm)
29) Christina: Darling, darling, and darling. I love his teeth...so cute! What fun to go out in the sunshine almost all year...it makes me think I could live there after all. (03.25.2010 04:42pm)
30) Tressa: LOVE the big boy haircut!! He looks so grown up now! Those four little teeth....adorable! I'll say it AGAIN....he is precious ;-) (03.25.2010 07:49pm)
