Adorable Photos: Meet the Local Babies Born on Leap Day


There was a kid in my fifth grade class named Erik whose birthday was on February 29th, a.k.a. Leap Day. As elementary school kids, my classmates and I found no shortage of delight in ribbing poor little Erik about the fact that technically he was only three years old. I’m sure it drove him nuts.

So in the order of penance, I thought it fitting to officially commemorate the birthdays of the babies born yesterday — Leap Day — at several area hospitals. Hey, they only get birthdays once every four years, so we might as well make a big deal out of it.

Presenting: The Philly Babies of Leap Day 2016.
