Dancing Alex, without the elf costume
Daddy January 28th, 2007
Whenever you are down and you need a pick me up, just do what Alex does and dance, Dance, DANCE!
Alex loves to stand now. He gets quite upset at times when we won’t help him get up. We keep telling him that he needs to learn to crawl before he can walk. He tells us not to waste our time with such old, tired clichés. He’s not even talking yet and already he’s smarting off to his parents. Usually when he gets up into the standing position, he looks a lot like Elvis, or at least a young Forrest Gump teaching Elvis how to dance.
He’s also trying to walk a lot now. He’s working his way around furniture slowly, and invariably the second you take your hand out of catching mode, he falls to the ground. But if he isn’t willing to crawl first, then he’s going to have to take his lumps going the hard way.
One other note about the video, you’ll notice that Alex’s ultra-hip mom is already teaching the young lad some classic 70s disco tunes. It won’t be long before he’s wearing white leisure suits and strutting down the street like John Travolta.
