As early on as I can remember, Chad has always danced with Sophie to all kinds of music. During fussy nights in infancy he would sing to her made up songs to some of his favorite music- "Oh Sophie, wont you be my girl, wont you wont you wont you be my giiiiiirrrll? Oh Sophie come on and dance with me, come on come on come on and dance with meeeeee-...."
So as she grew older and she could stand, she jumped around with him during their dance routine. Night time rituals became dancing and rolling on the floor to music on the television- head banging, jumping, rolling, and all sorts of fun.
Chad has started this tradition with Caleb now too- he sits in his chair as Chad and Sophie dance in the living room, each taking turns dancing with Caleb. Sophie can now dance on her own and often runs around in circles doing ballet, stomping her feet and has just begun to sing songs with and without music. Turn on the radio and she will try to match the tune- repeats the words and makes up words to sing along... you may find her every now and then singing to herself when no one is looking :)
Today Caleb started his dance routine- shaking his arms and swinging his air guitar while cooing away a great tune!
Music is a wonderful thing to have in your life- no matter the tune or the type.. but lesson #1 learned is that rap music can no longer be played in the car with a repeat 2 year old :)

thats awesome!!! when i head bang for ana she tries to as well.she doesn't know how to do it from front to back so she leans her head from side to side.sometimes she will stop with her head to the side and look at the world from that angle for a few minutes.
