Bust a move Gracie!

We knew even before Grace was born that she loved music and liked to dance. When you're pregnant, especially in the third trimester, they say a good way to get the baby to wake up and move around is to drink cold water. I never had to do that. I just turned on music - mostly Godspell, Wicked or jazz and Grace would get her groove on. It was almost comical how music would get her to move around. And with our love of music, we're not really surprised at all.

Well Grace has again proved that she has some good moves - even for a 19 month old. She still loves Elmo and Sesame Street, but lately she's been requesting musicals. She loves to watch Hairspray, Newsies and Annie (the Carol Burnett version of course.)

This afternoon she asked for Hairspray (yes she knows it by name) and has been dancing around the living room for the past half hour. Her favorite song is "Run and tell that" and funny enough she's starting to copy some of the dance moves that they do in the movies. (Thankfully all of these movies are kid-friendly and have good messages to them, so we aren't worried about what she's learning.) It's pretty cool to watch. She has even gotten her groove on to the High School Musical movies from the Disney channel. High School Musical 2 was on the Disney channel last night and she showed her moves off to Daddy.

It's funny how even at 1 year they are already showing off their personalities. You can bet that as soon as Grace is old enough, we'll have her in dance classes!
