Becoming the Paparazzi

Like I mentioned before, Colin and I are leaving on Sunday for a week, so this week I've been like the flipping paparazzi with Crosby. I want to make sure I have plenty of pictures of the little man to view while we are away, plus I'm make sure my sister sends me a daily pic as well.

We'll miss you Crosby! See you in a week Tater Tot!

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Colin and I leave for a much needed vacation on Sunday, however the kiddo is staying behind! I don't know how I'm going to handle a whole week away! It will be great to just get away and be with Colin, but will definitely feel weird with no baby.

Crosby will be in good hands with my mom and sister for the week. I've given Crosby specific instructions that he can't do any big "firsts" while we are away and told my sister that she has to document his every waking moment so I know everything I missed.  Thank goodness for modern technology and the invention of Skype!

I'm looking forward to some much needed R&R, lots of tropical cocktails, and of course plenty of sunshine!
 

Turn up the Tunes!

From his days in the womb to his days spent with Grandma each day, Crosby is constantly listening to music.

Crosby's current playlist:

                                                  

Van Morrison "Real Real Gone"

This song was on a CD in my car and I'd listen to it on my commute from work while pregnant.  Crosby would go crazy in my belly. After he was born, he was crying in the car on day, so we turned on this song and it calmed him down right away. He still gets really excited whenever he hears it!

Elizabeth Mitchell "Little Bird, Little Bird"

I received her CD as a gift and thought heck, let's give this a try. While I'm not a huge fan of "kid" songs, I feel in love with song and so did Crosby. Colin and I even find ourselves singing this song around the house to each other.

                                                         

  Bette Midler "Baby Mine"

I played this song quite a few times while pregnant and now I sing it to him right before bed. I however, don't sound this good when I sing!

Looking forward to finding more of Crosby's favorite songs!
