Help me choose some songs for DS's birthday slideshow

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I have a couple that I like, but I'm not sure they really are exactly what I'm looking for. So I'm looking for some more suggestions so I have a few I can pick and choose from.

A couple that I have so far, just to give you an example of my taste: 

Borne - The Guide

Plain White T's - Rhythm of Love

Regina Spektor - The Call

Ok, gimme what you got!

    We are doing the standard selection - Let them be Little - sure to make all grandma's cry. Nah, seriously I tried to be more creative just couldn't think of anything, and I wanted it to be somewhat sentimental. I'm about 3/4 of the way done and it's coming out great. Good luck! We are doing ours as a surprise to the family that day. :))

    Safe and Sound by Matthew West (This is beautiful.  I'm using it for the first song)

    Blessed by Martina McBride

    My Wish by Rascal Flatts

    I'm also using It Won't Be Like This For Long by Darius Rucker, but it probably wouldn't work as well for you because it's about a daughter.  Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins and He's My Son by Mark Schultz are also very nice.

    Ours is also going to be a surprise.  DD is having a moderate size party at our house.  I can't decide if I just want to show it to the grandparents, or close family, or to everyone.  My fear is that I'll be so used to working on it, and editing, and so on that I'll be indifferent on the day of her party when I show it.

    I made a slideshow for my sons bday party coming up this Saturday.  I am using Brad Paisley...Anything like me (I almost cry everytime I hear this song).  I am also using Little Guy by Gord Bamford.  Let them be little is good too. 
    PPD/PPA Mom...it has been super hard, but I'm making it! Slow steps...

    We are also having a smallish party here too, mainly family w/ some friends. I'm going to show it to everyone b/c I can't resist. :) I know what you mean though, I watch it at least once a day!

    and this is kinda corny, but what about a portion of season of love from rent...like this:

    Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand
    Six Hundred Minutes
    Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand
    Moments so dear
    Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand
    Six Hundred Minutes
    How Do You Measure - Measure A Year?
    In Daylights - In Sunsets
    In Midnights - In Cups Of Coffee
    In Inches - In Miles
    In Laughter - In Strife

    In - Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand
    Six Hundred Minutes
    How Do You Measure
    A Year In The Life?

    How About Love?
    How About Love?
    How About Love?
    Measure In Love

    Windows Movie Maker. It actually is pretty easy to figure out and use. You can do video clips and pictures too, which I am doing. And you can add cool effects to the clips, like old timey movie grain and stuff. It's pretty neat, and free! I'm planning on burning this to a DVD to save for DS when he gets older. I think I'd like to do one every year, even if it's corny.

    I was just telling my husband today I wanted to do one every year, then on her 18th bday have one w/ a few pics from each of her past 18 years...he thinks I'm corny too but I don't care. :-)

    This is a great thread, I needed some more suggestions!  So far, here's what we've got:

    Come rain or come shine (our wedding song)
    I'll be there - Jackson 5
    Somewhere over the rainbow - the hawaiian version
    Even if it breaks your heart - Will Hoge
    Good Vibrations - Beach boys

    How long are your videos going to be?  Mine is 12 minutes so far and I have another month and a half of her life to add to it!  I'm worried everyone will get tired of watching it!
