after lunch

In this video, Jackson and Evelyn are just hanging out, letting me tape them after eating lunch. I fed them their baby food lunch and then reheated empanadas John had made the day before for myself... or so I thought! Even though he had to have been full, Jackson begged until he got, bite by bite, about 1/3 of one of my empanadas!

jumping for joy

This is a longer clip, and it is mostly going to allow viewers to experience Evelyn's intoxicating squeals of joy (make sure your sound is on), because it isn't that great a view of the twins' faces. Still, in this video, we have Jackson and Evelyn playing in their upright toy stations. It was taken this summer, so the twins were about 8 months old or so (can't remember exactly, but it has been a while).

evelyn crawls the hall

Jackson had his hallway-crawl on tape (see 'Jackson cruises hall' post from this month), and we filmed Evelyn the same day.

in the crib

In this little number, Jackson and Evelyn play in Jackson's crib while Daddy films and Mommy entertains off-camera. This is only about half of the full-length clip, and I may get the second half up later today or tomorrow... we'll see! I think I have finally figured out the output that agrees with everything else I use to post videos, so I think things will go a little faster from here on out.

third installment of leopard girl and overall boy

Like I said in my previous post, I don't ask questions. This was another edited clip that I couldn't get posted after many and varied attempts. It was from the longer part of two of my prior posts with Evelyn in leopard print and Jackson in overalls.

Note to the squeamish: at about 32 seconds in, Evelyn gets so excited, she spits up juice or applesauce or something. It is no big deal and she recovers nicely, but I thought a warning would be fair and just.

the little video clip that couldn't

So, this is the one I edited on Digimix Master to make smaller so that I could post it this summer. Somehow, I couldn't do it before, and have had no luck since with edited videos, but it seems I have 'accidently' been able to do something right with this one, so here it is. I don't ask a lot of questions...

if the Computer Gods smile upon me, I just smile back.

jackson cruises hall to kitchen

Here's a recent one featuring Jackson heading down the hall toward our kitchen. Daddy (John) is filming, and Jackson was open and willing to get up close and personal with the camera!

P.S. You hear me in the background telling John about actress/author Jenny McCarthy's child having autism and how she believes childhood vaccinations can bring about the disorder... I'd heard about it on The View that morning.
