Rockabye Baby!

So my sister in law introduced us to something called Rockabye Baby!, which are lullaby renditions of songs by popular artists.  She had Bob Marley, Green Day, and The Beatles, and from the second I first heard it, I knew I would be into it.  So you take a greatest hits playlist for each artist, record the music using bells, natural sounds, and soft tones, and you get Rockabye Baby!.  Now that my son is here, we keep this music playing when we give him a bath, feed him a bottle, try to put him to sleep, and I must say that not only do I find it quite relaxing, he does also.  It instantly calms him down when we get in the car (he hasn’t gotten used to the car seat yet…either that or up to now we really only leave the house to go to the doctor, where he gets repeated shots, so maybe he thinks that’s coming).  On top of that, it’s nice to listen to kid music that you can sing/whistle along with.  Not only do they have bands like The Beatles and Elvis, but they have bands like Tool, Metallica, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, No Doubt and tons of others.  And the topper for me was that they had Queens of the Stone Age (which is my favorite band, although I find the songs still a little too dark to play for the baby) and…drumroll please…JOURNEY.  And it’s totally awesome.  Every song on it is a winner.  And I’m fairly sure it’s my son’s favorite.  Or it’s my favorite and I’m forcing him to like it…whichever.

Seriously, head over to Amazon and check it out.  You’ll love it and your baby will love it.  Everyone wins!
