I am convinced that "our kid" knows the voice of a man who will play an important role in his/her life. Might not be able to recognize it as dad yet, but when that voice is heard, "the kid" gets to moving and squirming. Usually Charles will come right up to my stomach and talk to "the kid", however, several weeks ago "the kid" recognized this voice from across the room.
I was sitting on the couch with the TV on mute and Charles was sitting across the room working at the dining room table. His phone rang and he began to have a conversation. All of sudden "the kid" takes off. I'm like "what is going on?" I didn't just eat or drink, I'm not laying down, I've been sitting here for a while...oh my goodness, the kid must recognize Charles' voice. It was the only voice in the room and there could have been an echo making his voice even more distinct. As I sat there in amazement (not being able to tell Charles), "the kid" kept right on going until Charles hung up the phone. Pretty cool!
The following week it happened again. "The kid" was chilling just about all day until Charles comes by my office. He was sitting on the other side of the desk, we were speaking at normal voice levels and "the kid" perked right up. Moving side to side, top to bottom. This time I was able to say to Charles, "Do you see this? We've been calm all day, I really think "the kid" knows your voice." In true Charles style, he just looks at me, shakes his head in possible agreement, doesn't verbally say anything, but his face said, "yeah I know, I'm cool". This time around is when I became convinced. The first time could have just been a coincidence, now I'm a believer.
Hope this voice will calm some rough nights!
Don't worry, he really is more thrilled than what this picture shows.
Don't worry, we don't promote violence in the house.
But you can't put a little silliness past us. Face dedicated to AZ crew!
