Video in Blogger

Okay, as we're trying to figure out the best way to post our videos, here's the video in Blogger, too (the old way)! :)

For those of you who use Youtube, how do we not make people have to accept our friend request?? Do we just not make our video "private"? Thanks for your help and patience, everyone!

Here is the same video we posted in the last post:

Ian is CRAWLING!

Congratulations to ALICESON who was the closest (okay ... only!) participant in our "Guess When Ian Will Crawl" contest. She was pretty darn close with her guess of Valentine's Day. Ian started crawling on February 11th. Aliceson, you'll receive your (autographed?) photo of Ian shortly. :)

Ian can now crawl the length of a room. He is especially motivated by the cordless phone and the ball popper (as you will see in the video). Sorry that the video is a little blurry. We're hoping that posting videos through youtube will make them easier for everyone to view. Let us know!

Can you view our videos?

A couple of people have mentioned that they've had difficulty loading our videos (as in ... the videos aren't showing up AT ALL on their computers). Are there others of you that CAN see them? Any of you techies have a clue about what the problem might be?

Shoelaces & Copying Momma...A Nice Video

Ian is almost nine months old. He is getting more and more fun each day.

Crawling...Oh So Close [Video]

Well...Ian is able to move forward now. True crawling is the next step for this little guy.

Accomplishments [VIDEO]

Ian is starting to partner actions with words. Whenever we say "yay," Ian claps his hands. Also, Momma captured the very first time that Ian went from rolling around on the ground to sitting up on his own again.
