Video update

This weekend I spent a lot of time coping our videos off of the camera. Therefore there is a huge collection of video from the past month. Here they are in some attempt of chronological order (warning some of these are quite mundane, but still fun):
having lunch, March 30th, 2008,
playing with a door, March 30th, 2008,
playing with a phone, March 30th, 2008.

And then into April:
walking, April 5th, 2008,
More walking, April 5th, 2008,
crazy baby, April 6th, 2008,
Birth to Three "Painting", April 13th, 2008,
playing on the lawn, April 13th, 2008,
more lawn, April 13th, 2008,
Seattle Doors, April 22nd, 2008,
rock, April 24th, 2008,
walking, April 25th, 2008,
rock, April 26th, 2008.

We went to the park this weekend and Jackson really enjoyed himself:
Slide, April 27th, 2008,
More slide, April 27th, 2008,
More, more slide, April 27th, 2008,
More, more, more slide, April 27th, 2008,
Swinging, April 27th, 2008,
More swinging, April 27th, 2008.

This should help everyone get their fix for the next few days.

Video update

Yesterday was busy; we had swim lessons and we played at home. We have lots of videos to show. First of all the little digital camera case works great. (you saw the sills last week of swimming) So I changed the camera settings to take movies. They are short 10 to 15 seconds each, but they show the swimming. And I was surprised to hear that it picks up sound well despite the water proof case. So here are swimming videos: Video 1, video 2, video 3, video 4 and video 5. Then while at home we used the larger (real video camera) to film Jackson. This first video is him playing with the electronic drum sticks Mary got him. This second video is him playing with a book. I think that he says something there, but I can't quite make it out. (Mary was saying she didn't hear it, but now that I have AV proof she has changed her mind and agreed with me.) So we are looking for confirmation of the word. Technically this is not the first word he has said, just the first recording (I have heard "mama" before). Then the third video is him "crawling" we did get more moving early, but I was too slow with the camera. But this is still a good video.

Jackson Videos

Last week we got Jackson a new toy. Here we have few videos of him playing in his new toy. We have three great little snipettes for y'all: first one of him bouncing, a second of him bouncing, and (yes, yes I know) a third of him bouncing (with bonus laughing). Tomorrow we will do the weekly update with some pictures. I hope this helps 'till then.

Jackson Videos

We took some video of Jackson this weekend. We have four great little snipettes for y'all: first one of him talking, a second of him talking, and (yes, yes I know) a third of him talking (with bonus wiggling) and finally one of him chatting with my parents via the computer out in CT. Tomorrow we will do the weekly update with some pictures. I hope this helps 'till then.

more pics and Video

Sorry for the late addition but here are some more pictures (stills and a video) from the 25th and 26th. Jackson is getting more alert he is looking around. Today we got our first social smile as he is reacting to us and there is a lot more interaction. As you see from the video he like music. But he is not as vocal as Miguel is yet, but we do have a few weeks to catch up. But I will blame the dogs in advance. Because I will bet they are not talking with Jackson as much as Tenzin is with Miguel.

Pacifier

We have been able to get Jackson to take pacifier this evening to help him calm down. I was able to shoot a small video of him. It is similar to the mobile or the hiccups videos.

Hiccups

Today Jackson had a bad case of the hiccups, we were able to get a short video of him in the crib. Here he is with the hiccups

Mobile Video

Today we used the camera to get small video of Jackson watching his mobile in his crib. You can see it by clicking here Video ( you may need quick time to view this)
