When you're pregnant, you tell people how old your baby is in weeks (even though that data means very little to anyone who is not also pregnant).
When your baby is first born, you continue to tell people how old he is in weeks (even though most people would consider 8 weeks the same as 2 months, new mothers do not!).
When your child passes three months old, you tell people how old he is in months (although sometimes you can't resist throwing in the "-and-a-half" at the end).
When your child is 12 months old :), you tell people that he is "one year" (but then you switch back to months once he's 13 months, because 13 months is significantly different from "one year").
And now that Harrison is 17-and-a-half months old, I tell people that he is "a year and a half" (now, whether I stick with that when he's 20 months old or whether I want credit for that extra 8 weeks of child-rearing is yet to be determined).
Am I done measuring in weeks and months? Is Harrison now "a year and a half" and soon to be simply "two"?
