The Voice

Well one of Baby Henry's dreams came true on Sunday!! You see, our sweet Henry sleeps to the lullaby sounds of Tanya Goodman Sykes everynight...and so do Michael and I thanks to the baby monitor! Anyway, we didn't start playing her cd until about early to mid-February and the first night Henry only woke up at 1:30am and 4:30 am. He continued that schedule until the end of February, when he started sleeping through the night (yeah for Henry, really yeah for momma!). By the way, Tanya is Michael's cousin, if you were at our wedding you heard her sing a beautiful song called "Hymn of Desire" written by her husband, Michael Sykes. She has a beautiful voice, it is one of my very favorites! Well, she and her Michael go to our church and we sat with them last Sunday and let me tell you what happened....We were all on the back pew and Henry was in his carseat on the floor in front of me...staring at me and sometimes closing his eyes (playing opposum). WELL...as soon as we all started singing, sweet baby Henry's little head and eyes started turning from side to side and looking all over the place. He was looking for 'the voice'! And boy did he find it! Tanya was next to me and when Henry finally figured it out he locked eyes with her and would NOT look away!! It was so cute! Even when Tanya would look away, Henry was staring her down! So, we now know that Henry recognizes Momma's voice, Daddy's voice and most importantly, THE VOICE, Tanya Goodman Sykes!! As a sidenote, Henry obviously has fabulous taste because Tanya's cd won a Grammy a few years back...that's my smart boy! A little shout out to Mrs. T...keep singing, we love hearing you!!
