Crawlin Girl. . . . . . . . Dancin Man

It's so interesting to see how your children develop at such different speeds. Ayden was crawling at 8 months. He started with the army crawl but quickly got to his hands and knees. Sophie has taken her sweet time. (which, for the record, I am perfectly fine with!) She decided that rolling was getting her around just fine. Well, the day finally came. . . she learned to crawl! It's official. Now 10 months and a week old, she is on all fours and movin. She's still pretty slow, which is nice for me, it gives me a chance to adjust to having a crawler again. She seems really happy with herself though, and it's always a joy to see your kids learn something new.

Ayden has always been a fan of dancing. From the time he could stand, he loved to move to the beat. He started really picking it up when we lived at the apartment and he fell in love with the Backyardigans. Well, if possible, I think he loves it even more now. Multiple times a day he asks me to turn on music so he can dance. He got a "my pod" (a toy that plays nursery rhymes) from his cousin Connor, and he loves to carry it around the house and dance. Whenever we go anywhere that there's music, he loves to show off his moves. The funny thing is. . . he's actually really good. He has different moves for different music. Just tonight we were at our Ward Party and he had a whole audience watching him instead of the performers. What can I say, the kid just loves to dance. I guess you could say, like mother, like son!
