Dancing with the Moon(s)

We've made it through 2013! You've almost made it through 100 blog posts from me this year!

As my final post of the year, I considered making this a contemplative, soul-searching, and sweeping recap of the year. I thought about sharing what I have learned about myself, about people, about being a parent . . .

But then I thought this would be more fun. So here is a "moontage" of Joseph's best dancing each month.

January:  No dancing yet, but he has got a sense of rhythm.

February: Still no dancing, but he could clap, call, and crawl.

March: This is where the dancing really started. Hooray for marches!

April: Joseph learns he can dance to most anything.

May: No music, but he sure knows how to move his mouth.

June: This was right before he started walking, but he had sweet moves even when stationary.

July: This isn't quite dancing, but his little march is pretty cute.

August: Here's where the dancing really picked up!

September: I played lots of classical music, mostly because of Joseph.

October: We listened to lots of kids' music on Pandora. I could bear it as long as there was dancing.

November: Christmas season began! Joseph got into the spirit early.

December: I couldn't pick just one grand finale for this month! Christmas music, kids' music, movie music . . . we've had a ball!

(you can definitely tell this video was taken on Christmas. haha.)

It's been a wonderful year full of funny-looking haircuts, no pants, and great dancing. Here's to more in 2014!
