I got the 3 set of praise baby, too, and we love those. they are a lot slower paced, and Lydia laughs especially at the animals (bunnies especially)

That's what I thought about it too. So much going on. it gave ME a headache let alone Hannah lol. And I usually put them on if I need to go do the dishes or something just to keep her distracted from the fact that I am not actually in the room lol. Now I have baby Einstein CD's for the music. I have a lullaby one that I play when she goes to bed and she likes it.

yes the Praise Baby is just so much more gentle on the senses I think lol. and I love that they show lots of kids playing, baby faces, animals etc etc. And even when the DVD isn't on... if I sing her the songs from the DVD she loves it. Even if I am in the bathroom and she is fussing out in the living room... I will start singing one of those songs and she quiets down and just listens. LOVE those dvd's... and the music is nice to listen to for me too.

BUT... If I didn't have the Praise Baby DVDs all I really need to put on the TV is a hockey game lol... I swear... she will crane her neck just to see the tv if a hockey game is on lol same when we are at a game IRL... she just seems to love all that movement and contrast lol.
