Sleepblogging, Traffic > U2, Bellytime, Random11

Well, after a one week hiatus, not to mention a massive hue and cry from the greater blogosphere, we're back with that regular Friday feature:

TEH SLEEPBLOGGING!!!!

I have to say, hovering over a bright-eyed and busheytailed infant with a camera at 5:30 in the AM, saying "GO TO SLEEP" tends to make one feel like an idiot, but, as they say, "anything for my public." Colin eventually agreed to comply after about ten minutes this morning.

It was with the help of that wonderful, hairy band, Traffic. I'm always trying new tunes on the boy to get an idea of what he likes and doesn't like. This morning I tried some old U2, and he was lukewarm to it. Then I put on "Empty Pages" by Traffic, and he went nuts. LOVES IT. Clearly, the boy is going to have good musical taste, regardless of all the Jewel nonsense mommy's going to try on him. So far we've established his favorites: Ladysmith Black Mambazo, 16 Horsepower, and Traffic. I believe we'll be ready to move on to Iron Maiden in the next week or so . . .

Also this week, he's really begun to want to hold that head up, as well as want to sit up. Managed to capture the headholdingup, not the sitting:

Gotta love the drool.

Finally, Mary's favorite Friday ritual, the Random 11. Let's see if we're going to be respectable or not this week:

1. "Dexterity' - John Coltrane
2. "O'er the Town of Pedro" - fIREHOSE
3. "Never Say Never" - Overkill
4. "Where Does Your Body Begin?" - Michael Gira
5. "The Bars" - Black Flag
6. "Loose Caboose" - Henry Mancini
7. "Disciple" - Slayer
8. "Bad Attitude" - Articles of Faith
9. "Moth" - Audioslave
10. "Rip It Out" - Ace Frehley
11. "Shy" - Peter Murphy

Well, a mixed bag this week. Certainly eclectic, if not downright schizophrenic . . .until next week . . . seeyouse!
