from shhhh to lullaby

When Alex was a newborn my husband and I lived by the 5 S's to calm her, one of which was Shhh to mimic the sound of the womb. The 5 S's worked wonders but now it's time to move on. Much like her father, Alex no longer likes to be shushed. She gets very cranky when she's tired and she often fights her sleep. She gets even more angry when she's shushed. One way to calm her to sleep is to sing her a lullaby.
I have to admit, I know very few lullaby's, in fact the only one I know all the words to is Rock-A-Bye Baby. I have a book of lullaby's, now all I have to do is memorize them.

Its so neat to read this because with each new month comes new things and always new experiences/experiments but it reminds me of what Syd liked at that age too- she loved to be sung to I used to sing her beatles melodies:)
