Jam session...

Our little baby girl is a budding pianist.

Okay, well, not really. BUT- I will say in all honesty that she does seem to really be enamored with the piano, and with music in general. If someone starts singing a tune, it's a sure bet that you will hear her little pip squeek voice humming in the background, trying to "sing" along.

And when I sit down to play piano, she comes flying over and crawls up on my lap. It is awfully difficult to play piano, turn sheet music and try to play the right notes with my little munchkin sitting on my lap. But I find it so endearing I always let her stay.


Now, there are many other times that I am not sitting at the piano that she will sneak in the piano room and start "playing" herself. And, truth be told- she's not half bad (for an 18 month old baby, that is). She never bangs the keys. She always carefully touches one key at a time and tries to string along the notes and sometimes it even sounds like music!













And while I relish those few moments while she's sitting quietly at the piano, the perfect picture of angelic sweetness, the fact that by nature she truly is a crazy energetic, spunky, height lovin' toddler, it's not long before her impulses take over...












Until slowly but surely...


She's back to doing what she does best...
CLIMBING!

Hah! LOVE that first photo of her. Too beautiful. The piano AND the babygirl.

Isn't it fun to see those natural inclinations our kiddos have? My Caleb has been humming along to music (fairly on tune too) since he was one. And, now at three, he still LOVES it (as you have seen from my posts!).

What a cute little girl, what sweet pictures, what precious memories, and what FUN she will have learning to play someday! Looks like she has got a good head start!! :-)

I love it! A music lover all the way down to her little tootsies! Maybe she'll venture back over the music books and start plucking the strings soon!

She has GOT to be one of the cutest little girls I have EVER seen, with her bright eyes, plump lips, and cute button nose?

She is such a go-getter, isn't she? Can't take your eyes off her for a split second! :) It's sure cute, seeing her crawl up, practically INTO the piano, but I don't think a Grand Piano is the safest playground for such a little tike. :)

SO SORRY I couldn't make it today, Angela! I was really looking forward to the party, seeing the products, and also seeing YOU! Turns out, as the day progressed, I started feeling pretty lousy, too. Our whole family has a cold or something, nothing major, just something that really wears you out, you know?! I will see you on Friday, though, and hopefully we can arrange a time to get together. You're welcome at my house for our next playdate, if you want! ;)

Looks like a really cute, very tiny, just-as-talented, Jerry Lee Louis.
Great Balls of Cute!
