I think we're going to have a little frog...

Baby likes jumping!
So Baby Tebault has a new hobby for the past week. He likes to plant his little feet on the side of my belly, or just under my stomach, and push... and almost instantly, his head (at least, I think it is his head) bounces off the opposite side of my belly. My belly takes on an oblong shape and you can really see the two big lumps on either side as he stretches out. The the little guy repeats this - for hours and hours all day and night. He feels like a little frog, playing some sort of jumping game.  I love it, and it brings me a lot of comfort to be reminded that he is having a party in there.  Sometimes, he gets a little rhythm going with his hops, and my whole belly just bounces up and down and up and down. 

His other hobby is "marching", where he alternates moving one foot and then the other - the whole time bouncing his head off the other side of my belly. Sometimes, he'll stretch one leg out - it will shake for a second, and then return to folded position. I think he is stretching - just like we do, or a cat does.

Both of these hobbies he does at varying speeds of leg movement (usually speed is strongly correlated with sugary/cold drinks or me taking a nap on my side).
