Things Texas Says: Vol 2

It's been a while since I did one of these and I've got a few gems I've jotted down so here goes....

While flushing some of his poop down the toilet:
"Bye bye poopies. Have a nice weekend"

While riding in the car:
"Mommy, do you have a steering wheel?"
"Yes"
"Daddy, do YOU have a steering wheel?"
"No"
"You should buy one"

After being told not to go outside:
"Grandpa, what is my shoe doing?" (as he sticks one foot out the door)

While I'm making him some pancakes:
"Oh Mommy, I just love you very, really much"

As I'm shuffling him of to the bathroom to brush his teeth:
"Easy, mommy. EASY"

He's quite the little character. I wish I could remember all the silly stuff he says. He definitely keeps us laughing.

Video....yay!!!

I've been waiting to be able to post video's in my blog and now it's available. Get ready for lot's of silly videos of the kids. Here's one of Curren as a test.




That's his Aunty Laura holding him.

Ask and you shall receive

Last night for the first time in I-don't-know-how-long no one in the Huckabey house woke up before 4:30 am. Not Texas. Not Curren. And not ME. Woo hoo!! It's amazing what a good night's sleep will do for your sanity.

We had our little Curren baptized yesterday. It was the perfect way to celebrate Father's Day. He wore the same baptism outfit his daddy wore 37 years ago and looked like a little angel. As the minister walked him up and down the aisle and the congregation sang "Jesus Loves Me" I swear there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Silly me, I was all choked up before we even left the house.

In unrelated news, Texas pooped out a penny this morning. Apparently it runs in the family; my mom said I ate one when I was a kid, too. I just hope there's nothing else in his belly that we don't know about.

Can I get some sleep, please

Well, here we are and Curren is 8 weeks old and most of it seems like a bit of a blur. Lack of sleep seems to have erased a lot of it but I do know it's been fun and challenging in more ways than I imagined. And, thankfully, not as hard as I feared it would be. Don't get me wrong, it's not all a walk in the park, but we've settled into a routine and I'm finding that I better at double duty than I thought I would be. Curren is an easy baby and is happy as long as he has a full tummy and a clean diaper. Texas is having his share of ups and downs trying to adjust to sharing mom and dad's attention, but he loves his little brother and, as always, keeps us entertained with his questions and charismatic personality. You'll never meet a more outgoing 2 year-old. Sadly, it amazes me how many adults will ignore a child who is speaking to them. As if they don't exist or couldn't possibly desire a response to "Hi, how's it goin'?" Oh well.

A photo journal of the last 8 weeks....

Almost there

Well, I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow and yesterday was my last day at work. It's a relief to have one less thing to worry about. I get the occasional burst of energy, but for the most part I'm pretty tired and definitely ready to not be pregnant anymore. I told the little guy he's more than welcome to come any time after my doctor gets back in town this weekend. Texas seems like he's starting to get the idea that a baby is coming soon. He says his name is "Brother" and he's going to make him laugh. Too cute.
