Me and My Car Seat

Yes, that is my very own car seat. Pretty cool, huh? Mopm and Dad recently added some extra cushion and I must say, it makes all the difference in the world. The ride is so smooth and very warm. I usually become a bit of a brat when I get into the car seat, but once it is all said and done, I fall straight to sleep or I just chill out looking at all the things around me.

I really like it when Mom plays the music kinda loud. It reminds me of when I was in her belly. She tends to sing a lot too. It makes me laugh when she doesn't know the words, which is more often than not.

[enter mom] Yes, that's right. I love to sing in the car, but I never REALLY know the words. Only know some of them and then either fake it or make up my only lyrics. It's weird. I am one of those people who only listens to drums/guitar/bass/voice sounds, but never really listens to the lyrics.

I am intentionally playing Olivia a lot of music in these early days of her life. Everything from Beethoven to Philip Glass to Arvo Part to Radiohead and Thee More Shallows. I think exposure to different musical tones is important. And she responds well to music. It seems to help her calm down when she is worked up or keeps her calm when she is just staring into space (which she does a lot of now).

Olivia, you look like you're having a blast in that car seat. Is that because you know you're going shopping? I love shopping that much, too.
