Clapping is so fun to do!

Micah received a musical toy for Christmas that I just got out last week, and he loves it! I almost returned it (because it was what we got him, ha!) but am so glad I didn't. Every time the songs come on, he stops what he's doing and gets in a sitting position and starts clapping his hands. It's so stinkin' cute! His favorite song starts out as "Get ready to clap, clap, clap. Get ready to snap, snap, snap..." and he seriously starts clapping when it begins.

Well today we went to visit my friend Katie, who just had her 3rd baby 2 weeks ago. Can't imagine having 3 kids running around - and I admire what she does as a mom. Sam is so cute and so TINY...can't believe Micah used to be (close to) that size! While we were there however, Micah turned that clapping for the music in to clapping for himself. A few times while there he would be in the middle of crawling, and then decide to go in to a sitting position and start clapping for himself. He's just so proud of what he's doing, and it's so fun to watch. I guess he's used to seeing us praise and clap for him, and he wanted to join in on the acknowledgement! It gives me just a glimpse of what goes on through that little brain of his and I can't wait to watch him continue to explore and take in the big world around him.
