He's a natural!

Zander was given the LeapFrog Learning Drum for Christmas from Uncle Mike & Auntie Nene. Since Doug is a drummer we are given drum related gifts, which is cool. We want Zan to know musical instruments and music in general.

Tonight he was on the floor and Doug turned on his drum. Zander started hitting the drum!! He was doing it soooo good. And he'd even repeat the patern of the drum! I took a little video of it, I'll try to put it up soon. Soooooo proud of our little music boy!

Since we don't have a guitar at home and Doug can't really play his drumset here Doug and I have been playing bongos for Zander, he likes it.

In other milestone news....
Zander has been saying "Mammmmmammmmaammmamm" and "Maaaumm" since yesterday morning. Now, he's been saying "Hi" for a while. It's not just me and Doug that have heard it: Colby, Marty, my mom, Melissa and Mickey have all heard him say it. He's just not real consistent, he says it when he feels like it. Mostly when he notices or sees the person and they say hi. But the "Mammmamaa" has been consistent since yesterday morning while I was getting ready for work. I'd set him down he'd say "Mammmmaaammmm" and put his hands up for me to pick him up. I was in the shower and he was in his chair and he said "Mamamamma" the whole time. I'd ask "Are you saying Mama?" and he'd smile. So yeah, I'm proud. :-)
