First Year Montage

Ok, so I'm a little behind on making my montage (party is Saturday). But, I have all my pics organized by month and have it sort of planned out. I have a few songs in mind but would like some suggestions. I saw a thread similar before but couldn't find it. (maybe it was another board?) If anyone could offer suggestions or the original thread I was appreciate it!
Thanks!

 

I have a song idea, "Baby Mine " sung by Alison Kraus. It's a beautiful song. It's on youtube.

My twins also just turned 1, on Jan.27th. We celebrated this evening by going out to dinner with relatives.

 

Forever Young Rod Stewart
You are so beautiful Joe Cocker
Somewhere over the rainbow Israel kamakawiwo'ol
In My Daughter's eyes Martina McBride
These are the days Natalie Merchant
Wonder Natalie Merchant

If I think of any others, I will post again. Have fun with the montage, I love putting them together

 

I just finished mine on Saturday (the morning of our party...haha). Here are some of the ones I used for my boys' videos. I had a ton of pictures and had trouble picking a few, so mine were VERY long. I edited a bunch of songs, too, just to keep it moving and keep anyone from falling asleep.

I used the following for the twins:
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Celine Dion)
Crazy Love (Van Morrison)
Anything You Want You Got It (Roy Orbison)
What a Wonderful World (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole)
Just the Two of Us (Will Smith)

I ran out of time at the end and had to leave it at that, but I would have tried to edit/use more if I could...next year, maybe ;-)...

I also completed my oldest son's video for his first 2 and 3/4 years and used these songs:

Even Though We Ain't Got Money (Kenny Loggins) - DH put this on a CD for our first anniversary and we found out we were preggo w/ my oldest that week - there's a line in the song about having a son, so we just thought it was so funny...
Can't Help Falling in Love w/ You (Elvis) - my husband sang this to him when he wouldn't go back to sleep in the wee hours...seemed to work...
Baby I'm Amazed (The Beatles)
Bad to the Bone (George Thoroughgood)
Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Isreal Kamamawiwo'ole)
Banana Pancakes (Jack Johnson)
Darth Vader Song (Star Wars) - Halloween...need I say more??
Sweet Home Alabama (Lynard Skinard) - my husband is a huge Alabama Football Fan
Wrapped up in You (Garth Brooks)
100 Years (Five For Fighting) - the one from the commercial that always made me get teary when I was preggo w/ the twins...
Your Song (Elton John)
Florida Gator Fight Song- had to throw a bit of this in despite my husband's complaints...Go Gators!

Good luck w/ your montage! If you need any help, feel free to PM. Happy First Birthday to your girls, too!!!!

 

Here is a list of the songs I used:

With Arms Wide Open
Dream Big
My Wish
Little Wonders
I hope you dance
Don't Blink
You're Gonna Miss this
Ordinary Miracle
Over the Rainbow

I really like

Better When We're Together -Jack Johnson

 

Billy Dean-"Let them be little"

Awww, thanks! :wub:

 

I just now got to check back to my post! Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions!
Kyrstyn, I watched most of your montage, it was wonderful!

Hopefully DH and I will get busy on this! (He says that his mac is better than my computer and I just need to let him know what pics and songs and he will take care of it, lol... )
