Some time in the last month, not only has Laura started stringing two to four words together and been repeating words back to us, but she has also started 'singing', which has made me realize that it was high time I made the following documentation:
When Laura was born, Josh and I decided to implement 'Family Jam Night' on Fridays for a variety of reasons, but mostly in order to foster Laura's love of Josh's music. Luckily for us, Laura's love of music doesn't need much fostering, so when we slack off or forget to have Jam Night, her love of music doesn't wane. :)
Right now, Jam Night usually only lasts a couple of songs, but it is a nice way to bring our family together doing something we all love. We are no professionals; our 'play list' usually includes Sweet Child of Mine (which Josh practiced and practiced to make an absolutely beautiful cover of and set to a slideshow of Laura's newborn photos as a gift to her... I should find out if I can upload it, too, somehow), Hey Jude (which Laura now loves, since she can sing along to the part 'nah nah nah nah' and wanders around the house doing so), and maybe one or two other songs we randomly feel like if her attention span lasts.

And since my saved file of tabs was lost when my old computer died, I am just going to keep a running list here.
Pay no attention :)
[G]Here comes the sun.
[C]Here comes the s[A7]un,
And I say[G], it's all right.[C] [G] [C] [G] [D7] [G] [G7]
Little darling,
The smiles returning to their faces.
Little darling,
It feels like years since it's been here.
Here comes the sun.
Here comes the sun,
And I say, it's all right.
Little darling,
I feel that ice is slowly melting.
Little darling,
It feels like years since it's been clear.
Here comes the sun.
Here comes the sun,
And I say, it's all right.
