Our daughter Suzanne has a baby due in January, and this past weekend my wife Cathy put on a baby shower for her. Suzanne’s mother-in law was in town from Idaho and the Holidays are coming, so this seemed the best time. It was a gathering of girls, so my participation was in picking up things like the cake and veggie platter, helping set up, helping clean up, and putting together the music for the party. I call this the “ultimate” playlist because it is the final one I stuck with after several tries. One last thing I should add before showing the list is that when a grandparent chooses the music, a lot of the songs are from the “good old days.” Here is what I chose – with input from Cathy, of course.
Update: Ryder, for whom this list was prepared, is 15 months old (as I post this) and now we learn that he will have a new baby brother or sister in October. That means we will soon need to come up with a new baby shower play list. If you have any suggestions, please pass them on in the comments – they are most welcome. More than 200 people come to this page each week, and your suggestions may also be helpful to some of them.
