Beans

We spent the weekend in College Station with Staci and Dave. At one point they were talking about Amelia's nickname. What is it? Jelly bean. That has been her nickname since before they even had the sonogram in which they found out that she was a girl. Talking about that reminded me that I called Jacob "Bean" when I was pregnant with him. Only in his case it was short for Mexican jumping bean because he was moving all over the place, all the time. On the way home last night, it occurred to me that his behavior in utero should have clued me in to his personality out in the world, because he is definitely on the go all the time.

I wonder if it always works that way...that you can get a clue as to some aspect of a baby's personality while they are still in the womb?

Anyway, here are the cute beans in our family (who incidentally are only about 9 weeks apart in age. It is so fun to have cousins so close in age!) Aren't they adorable? :)
