All Grown Up?

Harrison is getting so grown up, I almost can't believe it.

I seriously think I saw some abs on him the other day. The day he loses his chubby little tummy is going to be a very sad one in our house.
I think we are still safe, for now.

But in addition to the fact that he runs and climbs like a real toddler, his talking and listening are making him seem so much older. He can say so many words now, it is really fun. And it is really cool that he understands the things that I tell him - I love it!!

Although, he keeps me guessing as to what he understands and just chooses not to obey. The other day I said to him, "Harrison, can you please put your toys in your toy box?" And then I went to do something in other room. When I came back, this is what I found:


His toys had been picked up from the ground and were all neatly placed on top of the piano. I think he was just trying to tell me that YES, he understands what I'm saying and NO, he's not always going to do what I tell him. I wonder where he gets that defiant streak...
