For me, the early days of motherhood consisted of 8 hours of feeding, followed by several hours of consoling a crying baby, or walking around the block. Any remaining hours would ideally be spent napping. For those waking hours, the following songs provided a peaceful backdrop for Ethan & I as we bonded. Even if you aren’t a new mom, these are some great relaxing tunes for your iPod.

Your little one is so adorable!! I have become a big fan of baby music myself. The picture of him with the IPOD is priceless!!
Hey Carrie,
I found your blog through Amy Stone's blog. It was good to see you at the mall today. Ethan has grown so much! We have a blog too. Isn't this fun?
That version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow has to be the best lullaby ever invented.
