kick

Tonight, after dinner, the baby in cousin Meghan's belly was kicking up a storm. She let me feel it (which is always incredible) and I saw Zoe watching with interest. I asked, "Would you like to feel the baby kick?" She nodded tentatively, and I encouraged her to come over. Meghan guided her hands and we watched Zoe's face for recognition. Suddenly her eyes went wide - she felt the baby!

It was magical. As babies (both in the belly and nearly eight years out) are.
