Out & About

Well, it's official. Kieren has a lot of his daddy in him.

Over the last week he's starting to be awake more and when he is, he wants to be on the move... none of this "sitting around" thing. I can't say that I didn't have fair warning. In utero he was the most active little being. The movement tracking that they have you do late in the pregnancy was a joke. He'd have his kicks, turns & punches met for the hour in sometimes less than a minute. Now that he's on the outside he's still getting his kicks & punches in but has broadened his favorite activities to include rides in the car, walks around the neighborhood (even if it IS to the doctor's office), dancing to "Say Hey" by Michael Franti (what can I say, the little man likes to groove), and on the occasion that I can get him to sit still while awake we bond over a good book or two.


The better I feel, the more we get out and about which Kieren loves and is great for my sanity, but more importantly it allows me to put Kieren in his white bear suit. :) I'm sure that at some point when he's grown I'll be forced to explain why I thought this was a good idea and convince him that it is not the root cause of any neurosis. I'll deal with that when it comes up. For now I'm going to use any excuse to put him in it because he's just so darn cute I can hardly stand it!
