The Sound of Music

First attempt at cornrows
When we first moved to our apartment, I set up a little CD player in Baylie's room, planning to play lullabyes on it. In fact, we never used it. Earlier this week, David had the great idea to move it from Baylie's room to the kitchen.

So today Baylie was unconsolable most of the afternoon. Finally, when I was feeding her dinner and about to lose my mind, I decided to play some music. All of a sudden, I realized she had totally calmed down. And then when I started dancing, she started to laugh. I can't believe that it took me, the wife of a composer, so long to figure out that music can solve such a simple problem.

David bought me Jason Mraz's CD for my birthday, "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things." I love it. Favorite track: "Lucky" with Colbie Caillat. I fell in love with this song when they sang it on the Ellen show. Watch here.

I did do her hair. Note that I didn't include a picture of the back since it didn't look quite so good...
