Kirk loves bling. He'll carry around Mr. b's Halloween Barry Gibb chain and put it on and take it off. And put it on and take it off. Even better is a string of blue Mardi Gras style beads, probably from Pride. They're just a bit longer so easier to pull over his head on his own.
He's also gotten really into dancing. He's always been a very aurally aware baby. Now he's totally into "real" music, and not his little kid stuff. He'll hold his daddy's phone and jam out to whatever songs he manages to put on (oddly enough, it's usually Merc Rage's "Devil Girl"). If we're hanging out downstairs then Kirk wants a record on the turntable. We've been listening to a lot of 70s stuff, from Pink Floyd to Andy Gibb. Kirk's got some hilarious moves including turning around with one hand in the air and lifting his right leg and pointing it repeatedly. Awesome.
We think we need to get him some kind of mp3 player for Christmas but it's just ridiculous to even consider buying him an iPod or an iTunes phone. Not gonna happen! But so far I haven't discovered anything that exists that is handheld and doesn't come preloaded with nursery rhymes. We have one of those kitschy jukebox style mini plastic radios that I think will have to do for now. At least then he can have fun spinning the dial through the stations--until he breaks off the antenna. I wonder where I put it?

He might be a little young for this but there's a Fisher Price mp3 player for kids. It's called the Kid Tough FP3 player.
Oh we SO have to get the disco babes together for some sparklefest. Esther is also waaaay into dancing. She is also very much into carrying around any number of our busted cellphones.
Love that hat!!!
Zane is currently feeling the soulful tunes of New Edition - with and without Bobby Brown.
What interesting children we have.
That is a fabulous picture!
Ooh, thanks for the mp3 player link, jennifer! That looks great. Hopefully Kirk'll allow headphones on his ears.
Give me a call, la, I'm so down for baby dance party!
I love that hat, too zany. I got it in London in '98 and am pleased that it's holding up.
I love it, too lis
