Behold! The Voice of......Dad?

We have attempted playing music for Jack. Headset on the stomach, playing CDs of various kinds. We tried The Beatles, Mozart, some jazz, etc. It is hard to tell if Jack is reacting to it or not. It also is not the most comfortable setup for Taylor, either.

Yesterday, I (jokingly) put my lips on Taylor's stomach and began talking in a deep voice to Jack. Mostly, I was repeating his name and making very deep sounds. After half a minute, he began moving. The more I spoke, the more he moved! It was amazing!

And, these were not the same old movements from months ago, either. Before, the movements felt like the tip of his fists pushing straight out. Now, the movements feel like arms and legs kicking around and sliding in the tight, confined space. It is still hard to fathom the fact a real person is in there.

Crazy.

The babies seems to like deep bass-sounding voices...like the time Jae spoke to Ellie in the womb, "This is your father." like Darth Vador. Our pastor's voice during Sunday service seemed to get her attention as well.

Even at Harvest, this little one moves around only when Pastor James speaks. He's got a loud booming voice. I'm not even sure this little one has the ability to hear yet.
