Baby Music

I am a sap.  A total sap.  I started crying on the way to take Lukas to "school" this morning as we were listening to his "baby music".  I wasn't sad about taking him to school.  I was just humbled by the whole baby thing.  I have a baby.  This child is mine.  And it is the most amazing thing in the entire world. 

And I have to be honest, I kind of enjoy listening to his baby music more than the radio these days.  The songs are just so sweet and happy.

The two that got me this morning are by Renee & Jeremy

The first song is called "Night Manta" - its a simple little song, but it chokes me up every time. The lyrics are:

I will be your home

I will be your guide
I will be your friend
always on your side

sleep now in your room
quiet of the night
surrounded by the moon
till you see the light

You can listen to the song here.  It is just so sweet and simple, yet says so much about how I feel being Lukas' mother.  The one line: I will be your home, is really so powerful.  I'm tearing up now just thinking about it.

The other song from their album It's a Big World that I love is called, Welcome to this World :

I don't mean to shake your slumber

Lying there you look so sweet
Before the birds begin to wonder
Rise my love and follow me

(Chorus)
Welcome to this world
Wether you are ready or not
Welcome to this world
Come give it all that you got
Before you know it you'll be
Singing right back to me
Welcome to this world

I'm sure you are happy in your safe haven
Where there is nothing that you dont know
But you could spend your whole life there waiting
So don't be afraid
Come on let's go

Future's knocking at your front door
So much for you to see
But if you are looking for something more
Come on baby
Breath this moment through your eyes
Treat each moment like a prize

(Chorus)

Oh Yeah, welcome to this world,
Welcome to this world

I just love it.  If you have kiddos, especially a little baby, I highly recommend this cd.  I also am loving the song Little Red Caboose by Lisa Loeb (yes, that Lisa Loeb).

Oh, and here's a gratuitous Friday picture of Lukas - his daddy is in Arizona watching the Cubs play in spring training, so we thought we'd cheer them on from afar!  (Lukas wasn't quite awake yet....)
