Posted in Baby & Child, Family, tagged baby dance, dance, dancy on January 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
We all have our unique versions of dance. It often becomes our signature. Avery’s signature dance is the cutest of all (of course, I’m subjective ). She bounces, shakes her leg, and mostly bobbles her head which we were able to capture on video. Some spots are kind of shaky because I couldn’t refrain from laughing. Avery [...]
