Shut Up and Dance With Me!

I'll be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing here as a dance mom. Though I've always loved dance & music, I don't know the first thing about REAL dance.  Sloane loves to move and groove and could benefit from a little coordination!! ;) So here we go! Thankfully I have a lot of wonderful other mothers, some season pros and some newbies, to help me along!

 Sloane is in love with dance class! She would go every night if we let her. Every day that's not dance day is just another to day to ask "When is dance class again!?" It's been so wonderful seeing Sloane set into that dance studio on her own and make new friends. It's also been fun seeing her pay attention and listen to the instructor, I try to listen a bit too and pick up what they learned that day because Sloane's second favorite part next to the actual class is telling me all about what she did in dance class.

 I can't even tell you how excited I am to see who she is up on that stage at recital. Is she going to be the one that totally freezes? Is she going to be the hambone? Is she going to scream "Hi Mom and Dad" and wave in the middle of it all? haha. I can't wait to find out!

5 Months: Grubbing on the Goods

This little bean of ours, gah!

Blair has been such a great babe, besides the apparent neediness for us to hold her and pay attention to her (diva) ALL THE TIME. She is actually still very content and chill. She is exactly what this family needed. Running after her sister is hard enough right now!

This past month Blair has been spending a lot more time on her tummy and actually enjoying it. She's still a spit up and drool machine but the drool we can only assume means teeth aren't far off. This past month we had a good two week stretch or full on drool, rosy cheeks from ear to ear and minor wake ups during the night. We thought for sure she was popping her first tooth, but low and behold, nothing.

We also started solid food this month! Rice cereal for about two weeks to get the hang on things, then butternut squash and now sweet potato, which she loves!

She is also a few short moves from figuring out how to get around in this world! When she does get it figured out she can keep all the boys running after her... like her mini lover Brady! It'll be an arranged marriage, no big deal!
