Anyone have any good song suggestions for LO's 1st birthday slideshow? preferably upbeat and fun ones. I saw a slideshow that used Justin Bieber's "Baby" as one of the songs. While I didn't initially think the meaning went well for a baby's birthday, but every time he sang "baby baby baby oh" with a pic of the baby, I thought it was really cute!
Any other songs you could suggest? (my LO is a boy)

There are a few songs I'm totally digging right now for our son.
Pony Boy by Bruce Springsteen is cute and sort of upbeat in a mellow way.
The other two are much more slow and sentimental, but I am sort of obsessed right now so I'll share anyway 
You're My Baby by Ian Dury (I'm sure most people haven't heard of it, but it's so sweet. I just posted a video of pictures of my LO to my blog with this as the music)
and
Godspeed by The Dixie Chicks
Good luck!

No suggestions, but I love the idea of having a slide show. I'm totally going to copy you!

aww, I did a slideshow for the LO I nanny..well, for her parents for a Christmas gift. I used "Walking on Sunshine," to start, "Daughter" by Loudon Wainwright, and "On My Way" by Phil Collins from Brother Bear
ETA - for the one I did for my parents (0-18 yrs) I started with "There Goes My Life," by Kenny Chesney (they were teen parents), "On My Way" Phil Collins and "Do I Make You Proud" by Taylor Hicks.

Music from Disney movies like from Up or from Winnie the Pooh? Or Toy story?
Do you have a theme?

Are there any songs with your LO's name in them? Now that I'm stealing your idea, I'm thinking I'll use songs with her name, Rose.

I'm reviving this thread because DH is in the middle of creating a slideshow for DD's birthday. Need ideas!! We're going to piece together a few songs.
So far, we are thinking of
"Kings of Leon - Knocked up" (for the beginning, during the ultrasound and maternity pictures) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00137MS9K/ref=dm_mu_dp_trk1
DH wants to use "Bob Marley - Get Up Stand Up" for the shots of her walking
We're not really going with a serious slideshow to help keep the tears down
