Dancing & Changing
So American Idol premiered this week. Typically my husband hates the show and has a fit when ever I watch but this year it’s different because we have our daughter. She’s ten months old and has discovered the joys of music. I never noticed how many commercials have music in them until she started dancing to them all. Then watching American Idol she was a great judge (most of the time) for the good singers because the good singers she’d dance to and the bad ones she would just stare at. Sometimes when the singers would really belt out a high note she’d even try and copy them.
She has been practicing walking a lot more. My mother-in-law bought her a little rolling chair where the seat lifts up and it becomes a walker; She pushes it all over the living room.
This morning I was sitting on the floor playing with her toys, trying to get her interested so she’d stop pounding on the keyboard for the computer. She let go of the coffee table and took about four steps towards me and her toys. She even danced around to the toy I started up that plays music. I could tell she was so proud of herself too because she had this grin on her face and she giggled a little.
Something I miss from the first few months was her “old man” face. When she’d first wake up after a nap she’d pucker up those lips, put her hands behind her head and stretch. She looked like a little old man and as unattractive as it sounds it was too cute and now that she’s a little older she doesn’t do that much any more.
