I love this video. I love how Zachary puts his hand on Daniel's cheek. I love how Daniel can't take his eyes off Zachary. And I love how Zachary looks right at the camera and says, "Cheese!" And then he wants to see how the picture turned out!
I like how Zachary shows the pictures to Daniel. It's kindof a long video, so I understand if you zone out in the middle, but if you stick it out to the end, you'll be rewarded with a smile from Daniel! And then Zachary says, "The End!"

Zachary is very conscientious about clipping the straps on the swing. Who is that he's clipping in?

The video starts with Zachary hiding Daniel with Blankie. Before I could get the camera, Zachary would wait for the blanket to fall off (because Daniel is always wiggling) and then he'd put it back and wait again. You can hear Zachary say "There he is! D!" Then we talk about fruit and vegetables (note the missing eyes - they came off in the first hours he had the magnets) and then something outside catches his attention.

I had put Daniel on Zachary's bed and Zachary decided Daniel must have been lonely, so he grabbed a book, jumped up next to Daniel, and read the whole thing to him!

Sitting at the piano, "playing" with both hands, singing his heart out! His lyrics included mommy, daddy, grandma & grandpa (pronounced together, sounds like "growl"), beth, and bob. Then he looked at the Christmas tree and started singing about that. The last bit included some numbers (1-6) and part of the ABCs.

Christmas Videos! I know you've been wondering where these were!! In the interest of getting these up quickly, I'm not combining them into one big long video, and in the interest of moving on to newer videos that are waiting in the wings, I'm not putting each video in its own post.
First up: Zachary opening a gift to him from Grandma Kim and Grandpa Mark:
Next: Zachary helps Grandma Kim open a gift to her from the boys:
Auntie Beth helps Zachary open his gift from Mommy and Daddy:
Grandma Kim shows Zachary how to play with tangrams
After playing with our Wii, Mark started talking about possibly getting one. Watching him open the one we had already bought for him was great fun! (Wii gifters: Kim, Elizabeth, Curtis & Jennifer, and Grandma & Grandpa Harper)
Zachary opens his gift from Auntie Beth: Math Equations!
Grandpa Mark helps Zachary open a VeggieTales video, LarryBoy and the Bad Apple
What's not to like about boys in matching outfits??

Oops, I'm a little out of order here. This is from the hospital, the first time Zachary and Daniel meet each other. Zachary's interested, but not quite sure what to think. Notice how he keeps coming back to take a look, but doesn't linger long. And the hands in the pockets!! Too much.

Baby snores!! These cracked us up! He stopped doing it around 1.5-2 months.
Video taken 11/09; Daniel is less than 1 month.
Zachary playing Blokus Trigon. I love how he grabs one of each color :-)
