Eliza's First Year

Despite my last post, I was finally able to finish the video retrospective of Eliza's first year. We played it at Eliza's birthday party (expect a post on that big event soon!) and it went over really well. I know I'm very happy with how the video turned out. My only real complaint is that it's very quiet - some of the clips we recorded when Eliza was in the hospital are very quiet, and since Windows Movie Maker doesn't seem to offer any way to increase the volume of a clip, I had to bring everything else down to the same volume level to match. Thus, you'll probably want to turn up your volume (and click the icon to view it full size/full screen!) when you watch it.

Enjoy!

Pictures!

It's about time for more pictures -especially of the new, much chunkier edition of baby.

Momma loves these eyes!

She's so much more alert and attentive now.

I mean this needs no caption, obviously.
