The Second Child Finally Has a Video

August 5, 2010

When the Little Lady was born, she quickly became used to the flash of a camera.  By the end of her first week, there were over 700 pictures taken of that child.

(no exaggeration, folks)

Within my picture folder, I have her photos organized in sub-folders labeled by month, year, and holidays.  There are, by now, probably over 10,000 pictures of her.

And, when she started smiling, babbling, cooing, sitting, crawling, and walking, I was always there with the video camera — ready to capture and preserve those big milestones.

She was a first child.

Mr. Boy is a second child.

And I have been a very bad mommy.

I’m not hovering over him all day long, camera on and ready to blind his blue eyes with a bright flash.

I don’t have his pics organized at ALL . . . other than being in a folder labeled, “Mr. Boy.”

And, until this week, I had not captured one milestone on video.

Not ONE.

Over the past few weeks, Mr. Boy has begun toddling around — a few steps here . . . a few steps there.  Did I whip out the camera?  Um, no — I think we’ve covered that I stink at recording his big moments.

Worst. Mommy. Ever.

(sigh)

I tried redeeming myself last night, after Hubby said (more than once), “We don’t have any video of Mr. Boy.”

Without further ado . . . I present you with the cutest “Second Child” God ever made.
