The Baby Belly

Lately, we've been trying to communicate to Jacob that there is another baby on the way that will be adding to our family. You always wonder at this age how much they understand. He really surprises me sometimes when I ask him to do something and he does exactly what I say, even though he couldn't repeat it to me. I've shown him my belly, and eluded that there is a baby in that belly. He sometimes now likes to help himself to see the baby belly, lifts up my shirt and says "hi". I then tell him to talk to the baby in my mommy's belly and he usually puts his face on my belly (as if he is kissing the baby). Then, he will cover my belly back up with my shirt and say "bye bye". I'm still not sure if he really gets it, but it is so fun to watch his reactions when we talk about it. I look forward to the day the brothers can meet face to face.
