First Music

Other than what she heard when they rolled her by the stereo in the new born unit, Meera has not heard a lot of music. Here are her firsts:

Papi singing "Swedish Lullaby". A beautiful version of this can be found here.

"Cherry" by Abdullah Ibrahim Trio, a great African inspired Jazz piece.

"Got the world on a string" Jazz standard by Diana Krall, apropos I think.

"Shake your tail feather" by the Cheetah Girls (with two wild K & O's dancing like mad men).

"Stir it up" by Bob Marley. The original is still the best. This is our "Family Song" and it was exciting for K & O to play it for M for the first time this morning.

"Big brother song." From the back of the "I'm going to be a big brother." Heather and I did not even know this had a CD, so when Kyle got it out, put it in the CD Player, and started singing along with it and dancing to show off to Meera (he knew all the words, so obviously he has been listening to this for awhile now-- unbeknownst to us), we were pretty suprised and delighted.
