day of music



Yesterday we went to the Macy's day of music festival downtown Minneapolis. It was a beautiful day to be outside listening to all types of music. We saw the Teddy Bear Band(family/kids music), The Jimmies(real music for real kids/rock), Jumbo Ya Ya(fusion music), and The International Novelty Gamelan Ensemble(World Music). WE went inside the Orchestra Hall and they had all types of instruments that kids could try playing. Will was to young to try any out, but he loved watch the other children playing the violin and bongos.
Will has grown up so fast. He's just starting to try and crawl. He gets on his hands and knees and just holds it for a few seconds before falling onto his belly. He can maneuver himself by rolling and pivoting on his belly to get to toys he wants. He just started self feeding himself sweet potato puffs, he loves them! He can eat small chunks of bananas too! The other night during dinner he tried to pull himself up on the chair I was sitting in. He got himself off the ground, but fell over. I just know as soon as he's moving he's not going to stop, I'll be chasing that kid around town!
