The Huxtables

I went to see some best friends of mine last weekend. They have a house now, a new baby, and a few other new things too. I was a little concerned because there have been times these past few years I have shown no interest in babies at all. That seemed to start after my ex and I broke up; we had talked a lot about having children someday and after the breakup I could have cared less about children for awhile. But I think this 6 month old and I hit it off faster than me and his Daddy did during college.

During football timeouts, commercials, and even during football games I found myself playing with one of the happiest little guys I have ever seen. I was a little scared to handle him at first, but after seeing how hard both his parents played with him I knew I couldn't do much wrong. Heck, I may have even bored the kid a little at times! When the little Red Sox was asleep we all watched football, movies, or just talked about life, church, or healthcare. The Mrs. is a doctor.

I have to say I'm awfully proud of my two buddies. This little guy is going to grow up with a fun Dad who will also be a good father, as well. His Mom is no slouch either, but I'll never play her role. I tried to take notes, and when the time hopefully comes for me I may end up calling my buddies for lessons on how to make my child laugh without hurting him.

They are so funny, too. He annoys her, they argue, and always kiss and make up. I love just listening to them bicker! Just like Cliff and Claire Huxtable, and Theo is well on his way. Thanks Aaron, Jenny, and Isaac. I had a great time. Can't wait to see you three again.
