Segundo is two

Harrison turned two today. He had a few people over.

He received:
  • Some cash
  • A Costco gift certificate
  • Matchbox cars (now made in Thailand! By Mattel!)
  • A train
  • Plywood blocks
  • Half a share of a tent
  • A fire engine
  • The reassurance that he was now only 1/20th his father's age rather than 1/39th
According to prominent physicians, Harrison's height and weight and mental development are in the upper percentiles of other children whose parents obsess about that sort of thing. I just like it when he says, "Hey Dude."

Harrison at one

Harrison turned one today in a small ceremony at Travel Town in Griffith Park. He has been walking since August 2, but discouraged any photography of the activity by consistently rushing the camera.

Harrison at six months, sort of

As Harrison was born on August 30 and there were only 29 days in February, we already feel like rotten parents because he will miss out on a clearly-defined six-month milestone.

I'm sure we'll find some way to get over failing him so utterly.

He is beginning to teethe. He has more hair but fewer (none) words than his sister did at this age. He talks a lot, but mostly about the company that provides our car insurance and a 12-step program he will probably attend.

Here is a sample conversation:

"Harrison, what are you up to today?"

"AA AA AA AA AA AA AA," he'll say.

"At least you can admit you have a problem. I'm thinking I should switch to Geico."

"AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA," he'll say.

"I'm sure they wouldn't be as tolerant of your drinking."
