Anyway, we got to thinking, if he's just laying around, listening to stuff, what should he hear? Soon he'll be free of the hustle and bustle and beeps and boops of the NICU and then what? Clearly, a mix tape is in order. The song list is pretty important, music being a powerful and influential medium and all. Does Jack Johnson = mellow dude baby? Would hair band rock breed a tiny aggro tot? We've got some ideas of our own, but we're opening our playlist to you, our grooviest friends. Send us your suggestions for Cole's first dance party soundtrack. He's already getting good at throwing his hands in the air, and waving them like he just don't care.

Sounds Good
Good news! Cole had his hearing screening today and... he passed! Cheers to his ears! Which reminds me of an odd preemie quirk from way back in the beginning. When babies are born as early as Cole was, they're still growing, and important parts like cartilage aren't fully formed. So his little ears were sort of floppy, not super floppy like Homer's ears (remember those ears? They were awesome. Sigh) but if he slept on them wrong, they'd fold over like flower petals. No worries though, you could just mush them back into place. Anyway, Cole's ears are now officially, doctor approved perfect, inside and out (plus adorable) so hurrah!

Obviously he's got the Rosenberg sisters' move of hands up in the air. Some disco is definitely in order...Maybe "I'm too sexy for my hat..."
Here's some tunes we put in Theo's first dance mix, which we actually made for a friend's 1-yr-old birthday party. Theo was too little to enjoy the music, but he sure like us dancing around with us:
Free to be you and me - New Seekers
The obvious child - Paul Simon
Let never stop falling in love - Pink Martini
Fishin Blues - Taj Mahal
Keeping awake - Innocence Mission
Stay up Late - talking heads (my personal favorite)
Always be my baby - Mariah (my second favorite--okay you get way more sappy with a baby in the house)
Cant take my eyes off of you - Lauren Hill
Were going to be friends - white stripes
Godspeed - Dixie Chicks
Biological Speculation - Funkadelic
My sweet one - fish
3 is the Magic Number - Elizabeth Mitchell.
lola thinks cole might like the same tunes she does: new pornographers, camera obscura, les nubiennes, and bon iver.
that's easy-and kate I know you already have it because I am sure I gave it to you...if you want Cole to appreciate the beauty of life and love and the magic of the human experience, just put on Stevie Wonder's 1976 double album masterpiece "Songs in the Key Of Life." it covers everything - the joy of music and the loveliness of being alive, the totally awesome power of love and the crazy emotional adventure that is life. doesn't get any better than that in my humble opinion. dance cole dance!
