Grandpa Hukee's Brown Chair

My moved out of our duplex! Our belongings have moved into our first home, but Luke, Myself and the Babies moved into Luke's parents house temporarily while we fix up somethings in the foreclosed home. I think this picture sums up Leighton's feelings about living with his Grandma and Grandpa Hukee. Today we spent our first day lounging around and recovering from the move. Leighton and McCabe are rocking in Grandpa's chair. McCabe is clearly not very happy about Leighton's hand being in his face.

Leighton doesn't seem to mind McCabe's crying. In fact he is very gently and likes to go over to him with he cries. He really does try to help console him and takes an interest in his sorrows. Hopefully these boys will grow up as more than just brothers. Hopefully they will continue to bear one anothers burderns and take interest in one anothers lives.

Galatians 6:2

"Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ."

Leighton Brushing His Teeth

Leighton has been afraid of his tooth brush for months now. Finally he is starting to show interest! Thank goodness he is giving it a try. He is getting to be such a big boy and has more and more interest in doing the things that Luke and I do. He has 8 front teeth and 2.5 molars in the back.

New York Shirts

Aunt Jenna spent the summer in New York and bought these great little shirts for Leighton and McCabe. Leighton's is red with a fire truck and McCabe's shirt is blue with a yellow taxi. We love the gift. Thanks Jenna.

Army Baby

McCabe doesn't like tummy time very much, but I got a quick shot in before the tears arrived.

Non-Verbal Communication!

Can you believe that these pictures were taken just seconds apart from one another?

It is amazing to see the emotions of an almost 18 month old baby. He is great at communicating how he is feeling even though he doesn't say a lot of words. It reminded me about how important it is that I keep control of my responses to people and honor the Lord with my non-verbal communciation. My facial expressions alone speak quiet loudy. Thanks for the lesson little Leighton!

LEIGHTOR the Wrestler

Luke and Leighton have been doing quite a bit of wrestling. Luke has even given Leighton a wrestling name ... LEIGHTOR! Luke throws him around and pins him and Leighton fights back by pushing on, and trying to climb on top of, Luke's head. Leighton loves every minute of it, even laughing while getting pinned. He doesn't understand that he lost, but he does understand that being around his dad is very special and enjoyable ... and I would agree!!!

McCabe's 2 Month Check Up

McCabe had his doctors visit today for his 2 month check up. He was a heathy 12 pounds 11 ounces (67%) and 24 inches (80%). He is growing and developing and we love every single milestone that he accomplishes. Praise the Lord for healthy doctors appointments. I don't want to take a single one for granted.
