My New Thing


I'm trying something new today. You see, Big G went on a trip for some conference, and the takeaway gift was a Flip Video recorder. It's about the size of a small digital camera, has a built in, non removable hard drive, and can store exactly one hour of video and sound. Big G gave it to me as a present because I am getting ready to walk and stills just don't quite do that justice. Don't get me wrong, Big G loves a camera, but inanimate objects do not really lend themselves to beauty on the silver screen. Anyway, I'm doing a test run here, Daddy took a short video (30 seconds) of me sitting in my garden and I thought I'd try it out. For all you purists, don't get up in arms, I'm not changing my format, just doing the occasional enhancement. I mean, I'm fourteen months old now, a girl's gotta grow up at some point. I'll be back on later with pictures (yes stills) of our trip to Boston this weekend. For those that this is new technology to, I'm pretty sure if you just click or maybe double click on the big VCR-esque arrow, it will play right into the inset of your screen if you have the correct javascript enabling.

deary deary me... is it a mini-john I see here? both characteristics and expressions. I hadn't looked at this blog for some time, so I did a lot of catch-up reading.... the older she grows the more she looks like john I think (sorry loghan).

Her "first" walk was so cute, but my favourite bit was her little speech of gibberish when she's sat in the garden -I love it when they talk non-stop, completely oblivious to the fact that no-one can tell what they're saying.

Hope you're well guys
