babyness

Ethan has started kicking for real in the past 2 weeks. Before it was more like fluttering, but now it's definite kicks and punches and swooshes and flips. I've been trying to see if Brett can feel him from the outside, and finally last night, he felt a big old kick! It was really fun.

We've also made a lot of progress on the house cleaning operation, and so I've been wanting to go look at baby things to get an idea of what we might want. We went to BabiesRUs over the weekend and totally found the most awesome hoodie...we couldn't let it pass. I have a rule about not buying any baby clothes, because I know that people give you so much stuff at showers, etc, but this was too much to pass up. And there was only one left on the shelf!


Brett and I have been bummed about the baby boy clothing situation. Girls have so many cute things and boys have so many lame things to wear. I think it will definitely be harder to dress Ethan in a non-annoying way, but with sweaters like this one, I know it's possible. We don't have to paste our child with footballs and basketballs, when there are clothes that have race cars and guitars on them.

So Ethan is destined to be a rockstar. I remember a funny scene from a show I used to like, Northern Exposure. One older woman is talking about her sons. "He's a professional surfer," [or something like that--I can't remember all the details] she says about one son, with obvious pride. "What about your oldest?" asks her friend. "Well, he was such a gifted saxophonist," she replies. "But now," she sighs in disappointment, "he's an--an investment banker."
