Hipper Than Thou

Watch out Williamsburg: there’s a new hipster in town, and she’s armed with an appropriately vintage hoodie (and a love of the oeuvre of Wes Anderson):
The hoodie in question used to be Sarah’s from when she was a baby:
Presidential Patronymics
Posted in Holidays, Photos, Politics, Sweet Pea on June 15, 2008| 5 Comments »
As today is Father’s Day, I will provide an interesting piece of patriarchal trivia: Did you know that Ronald Reagan was the last U.S. president to not be named after either his father or his grandfather?
George H. W. Bush was named after his maternal grandfather, George Herbert Walker.
William Jefferson Clinton was named after his birth father, William Jefferson Blythe, Jr.
George W. Bush, though not a junior, was clearly named after his father, George H. W. Bush.
(Reagan is also the last president whose father doesn’t have his own Wikipedia page. Coincidence?)
Interestingly, this trend will almost certainly continue through 2008, since both major-party candidates (Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. and John Sidney McCain III) and the leading minor-party candidate (Robert Laurence Barr, Jr.) are all named after their fathers. If you’re interested in breaking the trend, note that neither Ralph Nader or Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin are juniors. (I wasn’t able to determine whether they’re named after their respective grandfathers.)
Since all you really come here for are cute baby pix, I have included a picture of Pru decked out in her Flag Day best after the break.

| Seymour Skinner: | Superintendent, I hope you’re ready for mouth-watering hamburgers. | |
| Superintendent Chalmers: | I thought we were having steamed clams. | |
| Seymour Skinner: | Oh, no, I said steamed hams. That’s what I call hamburgers. | |
| Superintendent Chalmers: | You call hamburgers steamed hams? | |
| Seymour Skinner: | Yes, it’s a regional dialect. | |
| Superintendent Chalmers: | Uh-huh. What region? | |
| Seymour Skinner: | Uhh … Upstate New York. | |
| Superintendent Chalmers: | Really? Well, I’m from Utica, and I’ve never heard anyone use the phrase ‘steamed hams.’ | |
| Seymour Skinner: | Oh, not in Utica. No, it’s an Albany expression. | |
| Superintendent Chalmers: | I see. |

Prudence had her 6-month check-up this morning.
Height: 27.0 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 16 lb 14 oz (69th percentile)
Head circumference: 43.5 cm (78th percentile)
She was very cooperative in stretching out for her height measurement. She was not so pleased with the shot or body examination that followed. As you can see below, that passed fairly quickly.

For those keeping score, today is Pru’s half-birthday. So we decided to celebrate!
Pica Pru, I Chews You!

You know what else Pru likes? Chewing on things that aren’t food. Not just pacifiers, or her fingers, but books or the TV remote. Or the mail:
Let’s just hope this doesn’t lead to a lifetime of eating soil.
