Blog or Vlog?

Good morning! I've been enjoying watching peoples videoblogs. This is all new to me. There are so many creative people out there who are making amazing videos! Thanks to the few people who have read mine in it's early stage, and for your comments. I love getting feedback. I guess video blogging must be pretty new. Although it's out there, it doesn't seem to be typical yet. Actually, video sharing is the whole reason I got into this world of blogging (vlogging.. whatever it is people call it!) I was wanting a way (a free way) to share my movies, slideshows and stories with friends, family and the world. If any of you out there, especially mothers, are doing the same... send me a note or email!

Here are a couple of the most recent photos of our daughters.

 With all this said, I have yet to show you video from our youngest daughter Madeline (Maddy for short). At 16 months, she weighs only a little over 17 pounds. She is healthy and thriving and staying on the absolute bottom of the charts but gaining weight steadily. I think people are amazed to see that she can walk, just because she looks so tiny. She has such a cute little personality too. I've included a short video of her getting to sleep. Most of you would think this would be a boring thing to watch, however, you don't know Maddy :) Enough said, I will just let you watch...

Music: She Bangs - by Ricky Martin

A couple of people have asked for the reason why she does this. We have NO idea really. She has done this ever since we can remember. Maybe someday she will explain it to us!

I originally made this video to be viewed on TV, so the text at the end is a little small to read once compressed. This is what it says:

"Maddy was not harmed during the making of this movie. While she may have been knocked unconscious, it was of her own accord. She fell asleep peacefully in the end and woke up fine later."

Blogging newbie

I'm not quite sure what this blogging is all about quite yet, but I started one so we'll see where it goes! I am a mother of two girls, one age 3 and the other 16 months. It is chaos around our house most of the time, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. My new hobby these days is creating videos and slide shows with imovie, so I hoped I could use this blog to share them with family and friends (and I suppose whoever else might want to watch). This being my first post, I will bring you up to date on our first born, Jordan. I gathered together a picture from every month (well, almost), and put together a slide show showing how much she has changed. Check it out.
