My baby is turning 14! Tomorrow is the big day (and Happy Birthday to Meg, too). So hard to believe how much time has gone by since I had the miserable day in the hospital 14 years ago. I have a CD by Linda Rhondstat of rock songs sung as lullabies that I have always loved. One song on there, "Be My Baby" originally sung by the Ronettes, is one that I have always sung to babies in our family is this:

"The night we met I knew I needed you so

And if I had the chance I'd never let you go

So won't you say you love me

I'll make you so proud of me

We'll make 'em turn their heads

Every place we go

So won't you please

Be my little baby

Say you'll be my darling
Be my baby now.

I'll make you happy, baby

Just wait and see

For every kiss you give me

I'll give you three

Oh, since the day I saw you

I have been waiting for you

You know I will adore you

Till eternity."

I'm going to have to come up with a new name to call him. Baby Abey isn't going to fly any more. He's going to his first Stake dance on Saturday! The times they are a-changin'.
