Baby Love - with working video :)

Mia is LOVING having an "honorary big sister" in Paulina, the ten year old I'm watching for the summer.  She probably sometimes gets on Paulina's nerves because she wants to follow her around and see and be part of what she's doing, but she hides it well.  lol

Hello friends!                                   What'cha doing?

Can I play Monopoly?                            
You like to play blocks?  I like to EAT blocks!  What a pleasant coincidence!  :)

The other day, Paulina was down on the ground playing with Mia and they started this squealing chasing game that was SO funny and so cute.  We had to whip out the camera and try and capture some of it.  Zeus and I were laughing so hard as they went squealing and laughing around and around the island between the kitchen and the living room.  :)

Mia chasing Paulina., then switching directions and the chase goes on...  :)

Paulina taking a quick rest as Mia heads her way full throttle!  :)

We were lucky enough to get a few quick videos as they were playing.  Prepare yourself for sounds of happiness - aka squealing, screaming, laughing baby.  :)  

And and the chase is on! 

Gonna get you!!!

Whew!  Worn out baby taking a time out to rest for a moment.  :)

So, not only am I enjoying having someone else around during the day who talks in complete sentences and giving me excuses to get out of the house, but we're ALL having a blast.

SADNESS of sadnesses!!!

My Flip video recorder will no longer download to my computer!!!!  Sadness of sadnesses!!!  We have all these cute videos on there that we can't download and have this recorder that records wonderful quality videos but we can't access them!!!  I'm in the depths of despair.  :(


My only recourse to be able to post a crawling video was to use my cell phone to video tape the clip off the little viewing window on the Flip recorder.  Horrible quality from the cell phone, but you can kind of see her crawling.  Sadness!!!

Fuzzy, but our only solution for now.  I'm SO bummed!!!!

Here are some other videos I had on my phone from the last couple of months of my little mobile turkey:

Mia calling for ga-ga-gama to come back and visit soon after her visit in January to help out when I had surgery.  Lucky for us we are headed THERE next week for a visit - hooray!!!

Clapping baby! 

Sorry it's so dark, our living room has horrible lighting.  The Flip camera would still take a bright, great quality video - totally not the case with my cell phone.

This is how a video from the Flip looked in comparison.  I love this video from January of Mia giving her papa "loves" and snuggles!!!

This is one of my favorites from the end of February when I was trying to take her 8 month photos and all she wanted to do was play with the giraffe, which she thought was SO funny.
