Our Toddler’s Dance Video & A Bottle Trick

Avery has been dancing for a couple months now, and I shared a dance video of her getting down with Jay-Z trying to get that “Dirt Off Her Shoulder” in the past.

A video posted by RC Liley (@going_dad) on

I love watching that over and over, it never gets old, but I’ve been wanting to capture another version of her dancing for a while, and was finally successful. No matter what she’s doing in the house, when the intro music to a podcast I’m listening to comes on, she’ll stop and just bust a move wherever she is.

There have been many failed attempts at getting this on video, but here is my short, but successful video capture of Avery getting down.

I love it! Just another thing that will never get old and I’m happy to be able to share it. Go ahead, watch it again, I bet you’ll laugh harder than the first time. If not, go away, it’s cute and I don’t care what you say!

Today’s post is short and quick since we’re at the DFW Family Expo along with our Dallas Dads Group to be part of a Car Seat Safety Workshop put on by Britax. Going Mom and Avery will have plenty to do and see as I help with our group, but I hope to spend time with my girls too. I’ll fill you in on how it went.

Before I leave, Avery wanted me to show you her new picking up a bottle without hands trick.

First, you have to have it on a flat surface. Or the curved seat of daddy’s indoor rower sitting in the kitchen. Make sure to angle yourself just right before going in for the latch.

Then, with full concentration, latch on to the bottle and bite down hard so it doesn’t drop! Side note: do not do this when actually nursing from your Mommy!

That’s it! Once you’ve accomplished the trick (if you’re good like me), go ahead and reward yourself with a good drink of Mommy’s milk; the best stuff on earth for growing kids!

Annnddd back down to do it all over! One more time after that and it’ll be a successful hat trick!

That’s for the NCAA March Madness followers out there. 😉

Speaking of, I filled out my first bracket ever and had no idea what I was doing. I thought I’d have beginner’s luck, but so far, I suck.

Meh, not a big deal to me.

Are you following March Madness?

How’s your bracket doing?

Any dancing kid videos you’d like to share?

  1. I think Avery has reached the age were she needs a little Katy Perry in her life to dance to, just offering a suggestion :). Kudos to you also, if she as already mastered the no hand approach to her bottle she will be a master champion in future bobbing for apples events!

    1. Bobbing for apples is definitely her calling! I’d be proud of that for sure! I’ll look into the Katy Perry thing, and maybe catch it on video. If I do, I’ll make sure to tag you!
