Gleeful

by Heather on December 2, 2010

in the amazing Annabel

There is only one almost fool-proof way to calm Annie down when she’s upset – play her music. If there is music on in our house, she is happy as can be.

Now, combine music with TV? You know, that big box with moving shiny things? Annie is rapt with delight.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Glee is a Very Big Deal in our household. Annabel sits still for an HOUR and watches the WHOLE SHOW.

watching Kurt channel Evita

Although, to be honest, she doesn’t exactly stay still for long.

She dances!

Rachel and Finn, make up!

Look at their dance moves!

I can do that!

Watching her watch Glee is my favorite thing. What’s funnier than a baby squealing and dancing? Especially when the Puck character comes on the screen. Annie is a sucker for a bad boy.

Still pictures only tell part of the story. To get the full Annie dancing experience, you have to watch the clip below. It took all my concentration to not laugh and distract her.


seriously my most favorite video of her ever.

Now you understand why I have ten episodes of Glee saved on my DVR.

OMG – THAT MADE MY DAY!!!! I had to smile watching how “in the zone” she was. I have NO idea how you NOT crack up!! I was so hoping you taped her b/c you’re right…pictures DON’T DO IT JUSTICE!!!

I just love how both of your girls love tv. I remember watching Maddie watch tv. She would get so into it. Both of your daughter are so much alike! It must bring you a lot of joy but at times, is probably a little bitter/sweet as well. I can just picture Maddie running around the room dancing with Annie too.

Thanks for sharing the video. Just like Maddie, Ms. Annie is one of a kind!! She cracks me up!!! How lucky I am you share her with us!!

Lots of Love & Warm Hugs,
Jenn

My 3 1/2 year old loves Glee!! I have seriously withheld Glee as a punishment! He wasn’t listening, so I told him that instead of dancing during the song, he just had to sit on the couch and watch it, while being completely still. He cried the whole time as I tried not to laugh. :o )

Others mentioned a guest role on Glee–she could play the role of Quinn’s baby in a few months! (They always age enhance anyway) Annie could dance while Quinn, Puck and Idina Menzel sing! :)

Omigod, so adorable. I can’t take it.

Looks like she also got the music gene! My favorite video of Maddie is when you were trying to get her to say “wow” and she just started dancing to her own beat. Girl had some moves…and it looks like little sister has some of her own!

My baby, who is 18 months old now, is hilarious when she dances. It only gets better when they start to walk. She spins around in circles, she does the robot, she gets down low. And I wonder? How did she learn to do that??? I’m a terrible dancer!!!

Can’t wait to see more dancing videos of Annie!

Mom said I was the same way for Fraggle Rock. Forget Sesame Street, I loved Fraggle Rock! In fact I was flicking channels yesterday and saw a rerun and sat for 10 minutes to watch, lol.

Annie is too cute, I don’t know how you held it together for that long, I’d have been cracking up. You need to find a way to send this to the Glee folks. Their youngest fan!
