My husband and I are discussing this one day, and he shows me how he sometimes dances with our baby when he's alone. He demonstrates an exaggerated waltz and I start laughing hysterically. "I do the same thing!" I tell him. We both share a much-needed stomach-workout guffaw at our crazy dances, and agree, it works. Dancing works. It calms our baby, and it calms us. I often think of this image of my husband doing his frantic dance when I am alone with my crying baby and it always brings a smile to my face, and often a giggle to my lips.
And so. Here, we dance--my one-month-old and me. Michael Franti's "Say Hey (I love You)." 'Cause hey, I do.

Dancing furiously to pacify babies seems a bit strange, but yup, it worked. This particular video is more in the "dancing sweetly" genre.
