Urchin status denied

Harrison suffered a setback in his campaign to receive benefits under California's Urchin Laws.

"But I've got the hat that's bigger than my head," he said, pointing to urchin apparel precedent-setters including everyone from Fievel Mousekewitz, Charlie Bucket, Oliver Twist, and Gavroche from "Les Miserables."

But the Bureau of Urchin Affairs shot him down, stating that a golf cap does not qualify. In addition, the BUA said that Harrison needs to be able to beg for food by standing on his own or by using a regulation single wooden crutch, not an IKEA couch.

The kid's got moxie

In this t-shirt, Harrison looks like someone who might have went a few rounds with John L. Sullivan or sold nerve tonics and elixirs.

Ensuring ROI through overpopulation

"I like that outfit on Harrison," I said to my wife.

"It will be the last time you see it," she said. "He's growing out of it."

"Not if we have six more kids," I thought.

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."
