5 favorite Friday: Oliver's sleeping rock-out

Oliver seems to fall asleep just that much faster with some sweet tunes. Here are some of his favorite sources:

A Child's Gift of Lullabies.

This one has been popular with my family for generations! (I'm terribly amused that I can say that.) Also has each song with an instrumental track only, so you can croon away solo if you'd like.

Sleep Baby Sleep {Nicolette Larson}

This Amy Grant-sounding artist has a surprisingly relaxing collection here. A nice bluesy-feel that reminds me of falling asleep on a boat. It even manages to make my harried self relax and catch a few zzz's on occasion . {That's a good thing}

Somewhere in Time soundtrack

My mom listened to this a lot while she was pregnant with me {and while I was very young}. It's a surprisingly appropriate soundtrack for quiet times with a baby.

Broadway Baby by Rock Candy

Sir O got this as a gift from my great friend Travis, and it's a surprisingly versatile little gift! Despite the fact that you can only buy it with the froggy puppet, it's a fairly grown-up cd. I've been known to play it as background music for myself and other grown-up persons. Just some nice uber-calm piano interpretations of some great Broadway standards.

Celtic Baby: Fisher Price

(Can't find this on the internet anywhere, but I'll bet you it's on the shelf at your locally Wally-world or Babies R Us)

I picked this up at Walmart on a whim, and I really love it. It has some fantastic, classic numbers on it, like "The Water is Wide".... that just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I highly suspect that they make Sir O feel all warm and fuzzy inside as well.
