More Videos!

I think I figured out how to embed videos into the posts. I know some people are not able to access YouTube on their work computers so these embeded videos below may not work here for them. Hopefully, the embeded videos will not affect you ability to see the blog at all. Again, I'm counting on your feed back to let me know how this works. Of course, you can always go to our YouTube link to the right and see all of these videos.

These two were shot yesterday (Friday) in his crib. To view these, first click on the play icon in the center of either video. Then click a second time and the video should start. Remember that the video is loading as you watch it so the first time it may freeze up momentarily a few times. But you should be able to replay it without freeze ups. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Video Test

I have not yet figured out how to embed video into the blog posts, so for now I’m going to try setting up direct links to my YouTube account. I’m taking videos of Parker with the digital camera and posting them on YouTube.com. Hopfully folks will be able to just click on links I place in these posts. If it works, I’ll do more.

So here goes…

The following is a very short clip taken during the previous tummy time post. Click on the following link and it should take you to my YouTube page and start the video automatically. When you get there it may take a minute or two to load the video depending on you connection. Please give me some feed back via comments on how this works out for everyone.

There is sound if you have it on your computer! Why is it that babies make you talk silly?

Update: I've added a quick link to my YouTube account under the "our favorite links" to the right. You should be able to go there and see all of our videos.

First Tummy Time

This sequence of shots are actually a few days old. I think they were taken on Sat. 13th so he would have been 4 days old. He was determined to pull himself up over that pillow. He can hold his head up briefly and he sometimes pushes up on one side and just about rolls over. He's still got a little ways to go but it's fun to watch him try. Sorry we've been a little slow on the photos this week. I've started back to work and Parker has turned into a nocturnal eater. Brooke is taking the brunt of it but I'm not excactly getting enough sleep either. It's ok though. We're just grateful that he's eating and gaining weight. I'll try to get some more pictures and updates up in the next few days. stay tuned...

Ready for his first stroll
