My 1 Year Old Is Always Surprising Me

Better get him a karaoke machine! LOL!

Here is another way that my wee toddler has surprised me. He makes faces for the camera, like in this photo. I don't know where he got the notion to pose like this since mommy and daddy didn't teach him to do that:

Maybe he just likes Jackie! Or maybe it is the tone! Do you REALLY think all the people that made her a winner liked opera? I DOUBT IT!

As for posing at the camera, he probably saw something that caused him to believe he should pose and MAYBE even that you have a picture you can display. It could have been just ONE commercial. Yu could have been watching something, he watched, and the commercial was over by the time you got back. Younger people have, surprisingly, been underestimated for decades.

Thunderbird,

THAT is the kind of thing I like to see in a show like this! He came on without knowing what to expect, and only a little hope and a nice attitude, and BLEW THEM AWAY! I was HAPPILY surprised! Being black, and dressed like that, etc... I had NO idea what genre of music he would sing.

But the voice is close enough to his that I believe it, etc... If ANYTHING, the idea of being like he is should have worked AGAINST him in some way, because it is just a little unusual. But everyone seemed to like it.

WHAT A CAREER MOVE! A car detailer to a person with a possible record deal and headlining in VEGAS! Near minimum wage to perhaps many thousands of dollars per night.

BTW Car detailing IS more involved and expensive than mere washing. The last time I had my VW bug detailed, about 15 years ago, it cost $99. Of course they DID pack up all the stuff in my trunk in a bag, but otherwise it was just a great cleaning. But it LITERALLY looked like a new car!

Smart kid. . Wish my daughter will grow as smart as your son..

I, too, have a one year old and everyday, I'm fascinated by the things he does. Before I had him, I never interacted with kids, mainly because I don't care for them. So, I had no idea how awesome kids are at this age. He's learning so quickly and becoming his own individual.

My son does something similar. I play all types of music during the day and its really cool to see what he seems to enjoy. Now that he's standing and stuff its a treat to see him actually get up and try to dance.

I remember when I was his age (or maybe a year older) I LOVED the Soul Train them song. My grandmother would tell that I would literally drop anything that I was doing and run to the TV so that I could dance to it.

Here he is, using the cell phone:

At 16 months, he's still insisting on watching Jackie Evancho videos almost every night before he sleeps. I try alternatives -- reading books to him, putting on other music, playing ball, everything. It might sidetrack and engage him for a while. But afterwards, it still has to be Jackie Evancho videos or he ain't sleeping.

same as my daughter, she always wants to watch dancing show, when ever i change the channel, all hell breaks loose.
and she actually gets the step quite easily, as for me, i have two left feet.

He loves to sing also..i guess he will grow and become a singer too some day. Just support him but make sure you limit him if necessary..Good Luck!

Okay where are all the oohs and aahs for the adorable baby pix?

Babies are attracted to beautiful faces. Jackie is a very pretty little girl. I don't have the ability to measure but I would guess Jackie's face is quite symmetrical.

On the other hand, Jackie's voice has entranced millions of people. I don't find it all that unusual that your baby may be similarly transfixed.

You've heard opera and don't sound like you care much for it. You have had enough experiences that opera is no longer novel to you.

It is extremely novel to your baby, however, and his attraction may be to the novelty.

Or he can just have a precocious crush.

Well, I thought it was tough having to listen to Jackie Evancho every night. Well, my son has stopped insisting on watching her sing. Now he insists on watching "The Music Man" every night. It is a 1962 musical that I accidentally recorded. He watches it in fascination. He sometimes hums along and even imitates the moves he sees. Seeing this every night is driving me even more bonkers than playing Jackie Evancho concert every night did. I will say after repeatedly seeing "The Music Man," I am impressed by how well directed and performed it is, especially the cinematography:

Did Jackie Evancho join the Wiggles?

That could be really dangerous...




Wow - that "Impressions on the Western Lake" thing is pretty trippy...what an unusual way to stage...one bad power cord, and they"re all goners!

babies are angles so, we should ready to face their innocent and naughty tricks. it is a way by whom they get attention of us and others. and it up to their mood if they like something , you noticed that they like to do that regularly.

There are always a bundle of joy and surprises
