This picture was taken about 6 weeks ago and it documents the first time David felt our baby kicking. Unfortunately it's also been the only time. Since then he has not been able to feel her at all. It's not that he hasn't tried and in fact her movements are much stronger and more obvious, but whenever he is around she doesn't move. Amy said it's because she is listening to his voice.
So, for the last six weeks or so he's been trying to feel her move. Last night we were sitting down together and she starting kicking. You could even see my shirt go up because she was pushing hard enough. When David went to go put her hand on her she stopped. We waiting for awhile, but she didn't move again. Then when he finally gave up and took his hand off she started up again. David looked at me exclaiming in frustration, "What a tease!"
Now, it had become my mission to see if I can get her to move so he can feel her. She is actually quite squirmy during the day. It's quite fun to watch. Oops, there she goes again! :)

Feeling baby kicks is the BEST! It's a bummer she doesn't perform for David but in a few weeks he'll get to hold her and it'll make up for it :)
One of these days you'll have to let Grammy feel the girl! How fun for us for her to be getting big enough to make her presence known in the world. Probably less fun for you to have her crushing your lungs and being your own private internal heating system while it's 110 out! Thanks for enduring all this to bring us our first grandbaby!
Love you guys,
Amy
Sounds like you need to teach Fleetus to be obedient and kick when Daddy says, "kick!" Get on that when she's young guys!!!
