Soundtrack - Year 1

Music is quickly becoming Colton favorite.   While many kids watch cartoons, this guy watches music videos.  Each song on this list represents a family memory during Colton's first year.



Song:  Pretty Fly - The Offspring

The night Colton was born, this song came on the radio when Jason drove home from the hospital at 3am.  Jason would sing it to Colton throughout our time at the hospital... "And all the nurses say he's pretty fly for a white guy."


Song:  Hell on Heels - Pistol Annies

When he was not feeling well, this was the first song that would help put Colton.  We would play it for him on youtube.  After not too long, he could recognize this song on the radio.


Song:  Someone Like You - Adele

Colton loves Adele!  We have DVR'd multiple Adele performances.  They have been watched more than a few times... to calm the little guy.


(I've Had) The Time of My Life - Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes - Dirty Dancing

Colton was struggling through a fever and crying when Dirty Dancing was on the TV.  The closing scene came on and Jason picked him up and began to dance with him.  Before the scene was over, Colton was sound asleep.  To this day the closing scene of Dirty Dancing can bring smiles to Colton's face -- well, more like a blank mesmerized stare.


Stuck On You - Lionel Richie
A Colton and Daddy favorite.


Pontoon - Little Big Town

Little Big Town sang the song Jason and I choose for our First Dance at our wedding.  This is their 2012 summer hit.


Ho Hey - The Lumineers

A new favorite that stops Colton in his tracks.


Elmo's Song

A recommendation from Colton's teach Miss Lisa.  They sing this at school and Colton tries to "La la la la" while dancing.
