Music, music, music

Alex has been doing great. It seems his favorite things involve books and music! He really likes playing on the piano and has been trying to get some sound out of a harmonica we bought him. He actually got a toot to come out of it yesterday morning! He has the idea that he has to move the harmonica back and forth across his mouth, but doesn't quite get how to make sound. So, it was exciting that he was able to do that. He's been trying to do it again. I am thrilled that he really loves music. We went to Famous Dave's today for brunch. He was interested in Moses Oakland who was playing the guitar and singing some blues. All of a sudden, Alex started moving his hands on the table like he was playing the piano. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm playing the piano!". It was so cool.
We then went over to Southdale so he could see the Easter Bunny. He really liked that and we got some cute pictures of him. He loved seeing Aunt Patty at work too. He ran up to her and gave her a big hug.
Wil had his Ipod going in the car and the song "Mas Tequila" by Sammy Hagar came on. I didn't think much of it but then Alex started saying "Watch Tequila!" It was funny. Now he really likes the song and we listened to it about a dozen times on the way home. We're really not encouraging our 2 year old to run around talking about Tequila, but the music part of the song is good.
He's growing up so fast and learning so much. He can spell his name, Bubba, Mama, and Daddy (well, kind of- he says ddy).
