Dancing Queen

 

Our friend, Erika's wedding invitation came in the mail this week. It included a CD of good tunes to get us all ready for her wedding festivities in Mexico in June. I immediately popped the CD in our CD player and Ms. Anna Claire immediately started bouncing in her bouncie seat, while laughing and giggling. It was so freakin' cute. I jumped up and grabbed our camera because it has the ability to record a few minutes of live-action footage. Normally, when I pull out the camera, the once-smiling baby becomes instantly skeptical and concerned. The other day, however, she continued her dancing, complete with squealy-giggles and snorts. I was so excited. Then, I realized that I'd screwed up and wasn't, in fact, recording anything. I managed to salvage this still picture of her and that's about it. So, I decided that we'd just recreate the dance sequence and I'd record it (again). I put on the first, dance-inducing song, pulled out the camera and the kid looked at me like I'd pulled a gun on her. Her eyebrows wrinkled in concern and her lower lip began to tremble. So, the only footage that I managed to get is shaky (from me wildly dancing, in the hopes of getting her to react) and me singing (yet again, trying to get a reaction) and one, very sad looking baby.

As an aside: We got a little cool front and the air smells like Fall today.
