Her Mom went to all the trouble of baking her a delicious mini chocolate cake, but Phoebe was surprisingly uninterested. She loved playing with the frosting though! She would squeeze it between her fingers and rubbed it all over her outfit. While she was busy with that we all felt it was the right time to sing to her. She still loves music of all kinds and one of the most reliable ways to get her to giggle is to pick her up and bounce her to whatever music is playing. Some of the pictures from the weekend will be posted tomorrow.
For the first time since driving all the way down to Mississippi, Phoebe was on the road again. This time she was off to Texas where she got to meet her newborn God-Sibling(photos coming later this week) and spend some time with her Grandma that lives just west of Houston. She has talented musicians on both sides of the family and for the first time she got her hands on an instrument. Her Grandma played some Beethoven, which enchanted Phoebe, and then it was her turn to give it a shot.
I love that you can almost identify the moment it clicks for her.
A few photos of the event:
I’m particularly a fan of this last one where you can really see the wonder in her eyes.
Afterwards Grandma pulled down some musical snow globes.
And of course anything this interesting must be chewed on.
