For the second time in four months, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson is a new mother.
The 58-year-old Texas Republican and her husband, Ray Hutchison, adopted 3-month-old Houston Taylor Hutchison about a month ago, spokeswoman Lisette McSoud Mondello said Thursday.
In August, the Hutchisons adopted Katherine Bailey, now about 7 months old.
The boy is named after the senator's great-great-grandfather, Charles S. Taylor, and his good friend Sam Houston.
