Rockin' the Cradle

I've been playing different kinds of music for Rowan. Even though he's only 6 weeks old, he is already starting to show preference for certain noises. He likes the Light Classical channel on Comcast and jazz guitar. Much to our amusement, he seems to like hair metal. I think he liked the country music but it is hard to say for certain since I was dancing with him at the same time. :-) So far, the only artist he has shown an aversion for is Neil Young. Interesting. 

Rowan also likes outdoor sounds. Because the weather has been so nice I've had the windows and back door open to let in some fresh air. When the birds start singing or the wind chime jingles he'll turn his eyes toward to door with a thoughtful look on his face. I took him out back yesterday where he got to hear the neighbor's dog and a helicopter. 

The most exciting news is that I think he is starting to recognize our voices! He's also started smiling more and more. When he does both at the same time... it's magic.
