dancing king

from the start, christian has been quick to react to music. but it wasn't until we watched the dance scene from "500 days of summer" that we saw him react so fully to it. he couldn't stop rocking, bouncing and waving his arms in the air. when the scene ended he was so sad! he started whimpering until we backed up the dance scene and started it up again. this probably happened five times before we realized we needed to distract him with something else if we didn't want to watch the movie all day long.

sadly, we didn't capture that day on film but we did pull up the scene on youtube a week later and he still gave us a little bit of a show {i'll just apologize now for my laughter and squeals...couldn't help myself!}:

he had more energy when we turned on the "dancing with the stars" version of "bleeding love," although i'd still stay the "500 days of summer" song is his all-time favorite for now. we're going to have to buy the soundtrack because it makes him happy day or night. {although he still prefers to actually watch the dance scene while he moves to the beat, rather than just listen. too funny.}

{don't you love christian's old school striped shirt? another hand-me-down from shane's babyhood. it kind of reminds me of what ernie wears on sesame street. awesome.}
