Harrison suffers the great misfortune of being the third child.  To compound the problem, the first two years of his life (and, yes, I realize he is only two) were a blur of sleep deprivation and failed attempts to wrangle his brother and sister into some sense of order. 

Anyhow, yesterday, Thatcher asked Chad and me what his first first word was.  We quickly replied that it was "Dudya."  Naturally, he then wanted to know what Hadley's first word was.  We instantly told him it was "Thomas."  As a matter of course, he then wanted to know what Harrison's first word was.  Silence.  I honestly have no idea.  He could have recited the Gettysburg Address when he was eight months old for all I recall.  My only hope is that I managed to record it on the blog; but, truthfully, I'm more likely to find it somewhere on Facebook, but that would take forever to search.

In an attempt to be a better mother to our "sweet lovin' baby," here are some of my favorite Harrisonisms.  When he isn't chattering away, Harrison is singing!  Because he loves to sing, I'm including some hits that he frequently belts out around the house. 


Harrison's Favorite Phrases
  • Yes. (I feel this is noteworthy for two reasons, the first of which is most children usually get hung up on saying, "NO."  Secondly, Harrison says this with his tongue touching his top, front teeth.  It should sound like, "yeth," but it surprisingly does not.  The "s" is almost hissed.  It's entertaining.)
  • Need iPad.  (Harrison wakes up saying this.)
  • Need iPone
  • I don't wike it.
  • Tickle kiggies.
  • Tickle chest.
  • More tickles.
  • More please tickles. (What can I say, the kid LOVES tickles.)
  • More please choc-wet (chocolate).
  • Molly take it (usually through tears when Molly takes whatever stick Harrison is playing with...those two are constantly fighting over sticks).
  • Need choc-wet milk.
  • Go see Mrs. Knapp.
  • More please puppies.
  • Want talk to Papa.
  • No, Hadwee.
Harrison's Favorite Songs

  • Thomas The Tank Engine Roll Call
  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
  • Don't Fill Up on Chips - by Randy Kaplan
  • Candace Party - from Phineas and Ferb
  • Jesus Loves Me - by Danielle P Davis because the traditional melody was just too offensive to him.
