Dancing and Tumbling

Matthew has so much fun dancing and I have a lot of fun watching him. He has developed this new kind of dance movement, I can't describe it. You know the baby-bop type dancing, where all the movement seems to originate from the abdomen? Well, he used to move like that but his dancing has evolved into a head and shoulder style that looks pretty funny. He even tries to add footwork, and is actually getting better. Little Gym is probably the best place to see his gross motor skills at work. His jumping and side galloping is getting quite good. Last week, while I did a workout video, Matthew did a great grapevine. He is still working on using the upper and lower half of the body at the same time, but I figure that he still has time before he cares about looking cool at dances.
