Thanks for sharing. She's such a happy little thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502402 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:45:01 +0000 twodoghouse 2502402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 8-9 months my LOs really got into it. Every day I have a new video on my Timehop of them busting a move a year ago. The baby wiggles are the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502391 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:38:38 +0000 Mae 2502391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's been obsessed with music for as long as I can remember. I'd say at least since 6 months. I can remember she'd be in her bouncer/jumper thing and a song would come on and she'd freak out and start smiling and bouncing really fast haha. Now at almost 2 music is basically her favorite thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502387 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:37:08 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2502387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD won't do anything on command yet. But she loves to get up and dance to her toys that make noise/music at 9 months. She also loves her bell toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502367 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:22:04 +0000 winniebee 2502367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Both of my kids loved it, especially from ages 1-2...they would/will bust out and shake it whenever music comes on. So cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502360 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:16:10 +0000 youboots 2502360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Tenny loves Bob Marley &amp; Black Eyed Peas. And Iggy, sigh, thanks for that one DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502351 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:05:36 +0000 regberadaisy 2502351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: we didn't choose. DH has a pretty eclectic taste so we always played a lot of different kinds of music. We just started noticing that a certain song would stop their crying. For dd1 it was ACDC thunderstruck hahha and dd2 it was ooh child by the starship troopers a la Guardians of the Galaxy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502349 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:04:07 +0000 skipra 2502349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both LO's have been really into it between 1.5-3. LO1 kind of grew out of it since he turned 3 but he will try to sing songs now which he never used to do. He just doesn't normally get as excited and dance any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502348 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:03:35 +0000 Portboston 2502348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 8 months and loves to dance to any kind of music. He sit dances or rocks on his hands &amp; knees. He's been doing it since he could get up on his hands and knees at about 5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502340 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 18:54:46 +0000 youboots 2502340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: how did you choose a song for them?@deerylou: yay how fun for you all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502339 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 18:54:03 +0000 youboots 2502339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh a friend got her maracas and she loves those.</p> <p>She just danced to the hold music I had on speaker phone 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502317 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 18:23:20 +0000 deerylou 2502317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started taking DD to a "baby jam" circle around 3 months. She's always been drawn to music and danced as soon as she could stand, upright. Now, at 2.5, I definitely think music is one of her passions. She has a few wooden musical instruments, and DH has made her cardboard guitars and drums. She is regularly rocking out. We take her to a good amount of live music, and she loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502287 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 18:00:15 +0000 regberadaisy 2502287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both girls have always loved music. They each had their songs as babies that were guaranteed to stop a colicky crying spell. Now at almost 4 and 19 months, dance parties are a regular occurrence and often requested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-child-show-an-enjoyment-of-musicdancing-at-a-certain-age#post-2502273 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 17:54:36 +0000 youboots 2502273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if T and her interest of music and 'dancing' are typical or not. She's a year I the last 6 weeks or so anytime music comes on the smiles and moves around (even when it's just to signal that the oven is preheated). If we ask her to dance she will grin and shake around. When did your child display this kind of behavior? I'm not sure if this is typical or if this is her first real interest and should be doing more to encourage her. Not sure what else could really do, but I'm sure I could grab another music making toy. It's just really fun and sweet to see her having a good time. </p>
