Austen Learns to Somersault

Every Saturday, since Austen was four months old, Tom and I have signed up for some sort of interactive class to do with Austen. First it was music class. Austen loved this and I think is a reason why to this day that he really loves music - listening, singing and dancing to it.

Of course music class was not Tom's favorite thing to do but he did it so he could spend time with Austen. So he was overjoyed when my friend, Robyn, (whose son is 3 months older than Austen) who we typically joined for these Saturday activities, suggested Little Gym. The class Austen attends at Little Gym is essentially a gym class for little kids. They get to run around, play basketball, throw frisbees, blow bubbles, walk on the balance beam and hang from the uneven bars among many other activities. They've also been learning how to do jumping jacks (open together, open together) and somersaults.

Well, the other day Austen just started somersaulting on his own at home. He loves to do this so I caught him on tape. Only problem is sometimes he needs to watch out for the furniture!
