Happy 19th Birthday Son.
Your Mother and I were looking at your baby pictures last night. We came across the shot below. You were two months old.
You and I have debated this point. (On Head Size.) Yet, the truth is now inconvertible upon reflection.
- Despite your impressive academic achievements, your head size remains disproportionately large compared to your body. (Yes, the photo is shocking. Your Mother had to sit down as she looked at the photo – I saw her shudder as she recalled the memories of the birthing process. BTW, I checked out Einstein’s head, it was normal size.)
- See the position of your head in the shot. Your neck was straining to support your head. All of your photos have you in the same profile: leaning and tilting. (Again, the cranium cargo load is daunting.)
- All 10 lbs 3 oz of you were delivered via c-section – – because you wouldn’t come out the traditional way. (Resisting parental guidance starting early – at birth. And Head size. Simply Massive. And yet your Mother still coddles you even after that trauma.)
Have a great day Eric. Big Head and All…We love you.

Thank you Nia.
Not only is he absolutely adorable, he’s leaning to the left – my kind of kid. Happy Happy Birthday Eric and despite any embarrassment this post may elicit from you, just remember – it’s your dad, you know him and he loves you all there is…;-)
Leaning to the left. Now there’s where most of the problems start. 🙂
Happy Birthday, Eric….I’ll always remember your birthday as we share the day…just a few years apart, well more than a few….
Happy Birthday Ray!
Happy Birthday, Eric! I think you have a rakish air about you, even at this tender age. Your Dad’s just jealous. 😉
Laughing. Exactly.
And from memory, he’s just as handsome today as he was back then…. 🙂
And, all my kind and generous female readers/followers line up behind Son and his doting Mother. (Shocking!) 🙂
Have a wonderful day Eric…..in spite of your Dad’s ribbing!
🙂 Preparing him for the real world.
Happy Birthday, Eric and Happy Day to you, David. Does the parental ribbing get easier at 19 or is it still annoying, I wonder? 🙂
Laughing. Like the cod liver oil we used to inhale as youngsters, it’s all good for you (supposedly)
Awww…Happy Birthday to your son! How blessed you all are!
Thank you. We are blessed.

Massive, right?
Happy birthday, Eric. Aren’t you glad that your dad has a blog?
Laughing! He loves it Susan (not).
Happy Birthday Eric! And, by they way, I had TWO kids by c-section (talk about one big scar!)…and they too had that “resisting parental guidance” look on their faces, and still do. 🙂
Funny, thanks Carol
Happy birthday to your son, David. Eric was a beautiful baby, big head and all. 😀
Laughing. Yes, big head and all Sylvia
Oh what a big smile this brought to my face. This is a wonderful birthday post.
When we kid our kids about the size of their noggins – we call them puppet-heads or bobble-heads 🙂
Happy Birthday to your son & wishes to him for may more…!
