Pop and Lock Baby Style

So we aren't saying that we have the next "So you think you can dance" winner here but you never know. Just this week he has been feeling his groove thang and shaking it (not like that folks!). It is awesome... any type of music that plays he starts bouncing up and down and shaking his little butt.  He hasn't really expressed an interest in music like that before and we've noticed other little kids dancing and just thought... Maybe its not his cup of formula. 

We have not quite figured out what style of music he likes best either, but I am sure in time that will come too. So far all he has been shaking it to is his instrumental musical toys, maybe we need to put on some Salt n' Peppa or some Black Eyed Peas and see what he does. Better yet all he needs to do is sit on our couch at 10:00 p.m. or later and listen to the thumping cars go up and down our street.

It will be interesting to see what he gravitates towards considering the amount of concerts we went to while he was in the womb and the tunes I listened to on my 3 hour commute daily. Thank goodness he wasn't shakin' it in my belly while I was pregnant too much. I would have hated to have pulled over and relieved myself on the side of the interstate.

Anyway... when he makes one of his millions of musical toys play a song he begins to get down, smiles, and looks over to see if you're dancing too.  If you are dancing he, of course, stops!  We're not quite sure if he'll have rhythm, but with a smile like his we're not sure it'll matter.  The good news is that with his new found grooviness his Elvis costume for Halloween will make more sense (we didn't spring for the wig, we thought it was creepy).
