Kirk has always been a very aural baby, really into music and sounds. Lately he's begun singing actual lyrics to the songs he knows. But he doesn't get in all the words, he'll only hit the high points. The cute thing about that is that he pauses, exactly long enough for the missing words to be sung, before he moves on to the next one.
T'inkle ... ... star
... wonder ... are
Up a' ... ...high
... di'mon' ... sky
It's frickin' adorable. His other favorite songs are Sing, Baa Baa Black Sheep, On Top of Spaghetti, and the Alphabet song.
And Yellow Submarine. He's obsessed with Yellow Submarine. He got a Beatles t-shirt from Angelmamma & Fam for his birthday so, since I was home with him the rest of the week, I decided to show him the movie Yellow Submarine. I hadn't actually watched it in years. Wow. Crazy madness. Such a drug trip. Which was the point, of course, but holy cow. I didn't think he'd really pay that much attention since it's so bloody long with lots of bizarre filler between actual plot elements and songs. But he loved it. Loved. He asks to watch it all the time. He knows the names of all the Beatles now (Ringo is his favorite) and has noticed the Beatles poster we have hanging in the garage porch and the "Hard Day's Night" record cover jigsaw puzzle we have framed and hanging in the stairway. It's awesome. We're both so proud.
Of course once his Papa finds out, he'll have to start brainwashing him over to the Rolling Stones. Heh. My dad's always been a Stones guy over the Fab Four. I suppose we can always show Kirk The Rock and Roll Circus DVD we gave him next time we're up at Nana & Papa's house. Lord knows that's plenty psychadelic, too.

Baby Kirk has the coolest parents ever!!!
Ringo was always a favorite and On Top of Spaghetti ~ what a hit. We need to have a sing along one day.
:-)
That is so awesome that Kirk loves music so much, but I am not surprised being that ya'll are his folks.
Maria was a big Beatles fan too. When she was 3 she told us that Paul and Ringo took out John and George. HA!

Henry will do the same thing when he's singing. He will also do the ABC's up to H and then mumble and do jazz hands.
That's so cute!
Your son is so cute, bel.
A singalong? Sounds like a plan!
I love that Maria thought Paul and Ringo ganged up on John and George, that's brilliant. I can't believe how big she is now! And Livie, too!
Jazz hands plus adorable singing? Henry rules!
And thank you so much, lis and Ana for being Kirk's biggest fans! ;-)
