Singing the ABCs

This was taken over 6 months ago (September 7th to be exact... you were 2 years and 9 months) and daddy finally found the time to edit it into a fun little movie of Sascha singing the ABC song.

I just Love it!!! We had you sing it over and over again and tried to capture it on video so that he would have different angles and shots to work with and put together. It was still a challenge to get them all, especially when you tried to run off in one take.

I just love watching these little videos from before. It makes us remember how little you were, and how cute your little voice is just learning how to talk.

Rolling Over

A few days before turning 4 months old, you started to consistently roll over. Seems like it's much easier for you to roll on a softer surface like the crib mattress. On the floor you've only done it a few times. Good job little guy, we are already so proud of your accomplishments.

Another thing you started doing this week is little sit ups in your bouncer or swing. It's like you're trying to sit up already. So cute... and drooly when you're sitting. I sure hope you're not getting any teeth just yet. I love your huge toothless grin. Sascha has been making you smile a lot lately, and sometimes you will even giggle. She loves to make you smile and get a reaction when she is around you. Also I've discovered that you may be a bit ticklish under your arm pits... it's so funny trying to tickle you and watch you squirm and squeal. Too cute! I need to make a new video soon. I am afraid when I start work I will be struggling to find the time to do this sort of thing on a regular basis.

Here is a little video I added!

First Video of Cameron

I have seriously lagged behind on video, the last video I posted of Sascha was a year ago! Daddy is more of the video guy, I do more photos than video. Here is a quick one of Cameron since he is starting to smile, coo and interact so much more now.

I see you!

Finally a video... I haven't posted one in a while. Here is one of you playing in a cute little house with daddy. You love to hide in it and then look through the window and yell out "I see you!" Oh and I got you saying "I love you!" which you now do pretty often.



Here is another video our friend Vanessa made when we were at the zoo with them. You had so much fun on this playground, especially on the stick going round and round with your buddy Sebastian. :) Also you weren't afraid of the animals in the petting zoo like you were when we took you to the Del Mar Fair. You actually wanted to feed them just like the other kids.

Making Music

I brought out a few toys which I've put away a few weeks ago. Amazing how if you don't see something for a long time, it's almost like a new toy again. These two were definitely a hit!

Doing a puzzle

We got you this puzzle and this is probably your 4th or 5th time playing with it. You get pretty excited when I pull it out. Here is a little clip, you struggled with the diamond, but got it eventually and was very proud of yourself.

Dancing and Dancing

Looks like you are definitely developing a love for dancing. I am so glad we started a music class with you, seems like you have so much fun there and you now recognize the music when I play the CDs at home. It's playing here in the background. Here is your latest move... dancing in circles. After I watched this a few times, I got dizzy too!

Musician ... perhaps?

I meant to post this a week ago, but had a bit of trouble with IMovie and downloading the actual clip, but here it is... learning how to play the guitar, or actually teaching yourself :)

Flowers

Playing with flowers out in the back yard. I must have said the word pretty and flower a dozen times in these clips... haha

Yummy corn

After having yet another difficult time at dinner trying to figure out what it is you will eat and not throw off the high chair or push away with your hand, it turns out that you love corn! Woo hoo! The only vegetable sweet enough for your taste buds. I've given you a few bites before, but here you have the corn on the cob and you figure out how to bite it off. :)

Kisses

You learned how to give us kisses! No hand/air kisses yet, but yesterday we were both on the floor playing with you and you would come up and give us kisses on our face. Sometimes your mouth would be totally open and you slobbered all over our faces, but it was still so darn cute!!! You are just turning into the sweetest little girl. Of course I am bias since you're my daughter, but you're so loving and so much fun, I can't really help but thank my lucky stars for having you in our lives.

The other cute thing you do is clap, you clap with one of your hands closed, almost into a closed fist, it's so funny! You wave hi and bye all the time.

You are getting more confident in your walking, sometimes turning around and walking the other way without sitting down. Also we have learned that you are a tough little cookie! You have of course taken a bunch of spills, but you seem to be handling them pretty well.

I am totally behind on videos, but here are 2 quick ones I put together. One of you dancing and pushing a ball around and walking :) and another one of you and the phone.

1st Year Video

I uploaded the video that was shown at your 1st Birthday, a recap of your first year. Daddy and his wonderful friend Jason worked on it all night long, and now we can enjoy watching it whenever we want to look back and see how amazing our 1st year with you was. What an awesome memory to have.

We love you so much!

Pushing a Walker

Baby Talk

Around you go

Doing laps around the table... it wasn't too long ago when all you did was just stand and play with the toys.

Shaking your head ... "No?"

You seem to know what you want... or what you don't want, even when you're so little. :)

Standing

Since I have made this video, you have learned how to get from one side of the pack'n play to the other, pretty cool!

Army Crawling to the toy

You're on your way... to become a mobile little munchkin

First Words

Sitting up

It's official, you are sitting up... well at least for a few minutes. When I get you to focus on a favorite toy of yours... like the book that plays music, you are able to sit up for quite some time. Yay, good job munchkin!
