The baby is almost 2 feet!

at about 5:00 this morning, Aunt Vicki opened my bedroom door and said, "8pounds, 8 ounces, 21 inches long, blond hair........well.......not much hair. but, blond."

yes, folks, she was talking about our friend, Curt's brand new baby boy born early this morning in the Anaheim area (in a hospital). Curt, surprisingly sounded wide awake, and not at all tired on the phone this morning after a long night of...you know...giving moral support, or whatever it was he did.

Curt: Amers!
Me: Hey Cuz! What's going on?
Curt: Oh you know...a little of this, a little of that.
Me: You have a baby!!
Curt: Yes, my friend. and you have a second cousin.
Me: Whatever will I call him?
Curt: He will answer to the name, "Little Cousin"

Maybe you do not realize, dear cousin, that when someone is awakened in the early morning hours to hear the news about the new child, they are owed certain information regarding said child in exchange for being nice to you on the phone at said hours. information, such as weight, hair color, and NAME to NAME a few. it was cute that you kept the name a secret. but once the kid is out, it is no longer cute. so...it better be good. also, congratulations!
