videos we think are cute

I FINALLY got our video camera connected to my Mac tonight and started going through some footage. I’m hoping to share some clips from the hospital when we first had Jossy, but man, I was SO HIGH off of pain killers after surgery that, well, we just might keep those clips just for us. We had a good laugh though.

Speaking of laughs, we always have a blast watching videos of Miles. The latest big thing in our life is that he is learning to read, which of course blows our minds. I have never been big on teaching kids to read super early. I wanted to make sure if he learned to read that he was still retaining comprehension and not just reciting meaningless words. I wanted to make sure he was doing everything in the right developmental order. Bla, bla, bla. Well, he wanted to learn to read and after learning the sounds that the letters made, he just started to put it together. He wants to read EVERYTHING and right now is really excited about it, as you’ll see.

So here’s Miles’ first couple of attempts at reading with LOTS of his personality and enthusiasm mixed in:

Here’s just a couple of cute clips of Miles getting a hair cut and some hilarious faces he makes when our awesome friend and hair guy, Jim, gets out a hairdryer:

BTW, Jim’s shop is Full Circle Hair Design on Anthony adjacent from the Firefly coffee shop.

Here’s a quick clip of Jocelyn and the pugs, who love her dearly. They love her so much that we have to push Whisper off of her about 6 times a day because she wants to snuggle RIGHT UP against her.

Thanks for checking them out! I know watching people’s family videos can be a bit boring, so I try hard to keep ’em short and sweet.

Ok, I have missed the rescue of the miners and the Teen Mom finale tonight uploading these. Gotta go see what I can catch! Hope you enjoyed taking a little peek into our life. (Ok, maybe it’s just the grandma’s that have enjoyed this.) Oh and if you ever get board, you can go back in time by checking out more of our You Tube videos from the past few years.

    Videos are great! That is awesome to hear Miles read 🙂 I’m sure one day Jossy B will be lying on top the dog- in the meantime, it doesn’t seem she minds a little snuggle.

    How did you get him reading so well?! I need “awesome mom of 2” tips! So cute to see Jocelyn movin around and coo’in. Such a sweet baby girl!

    Oh my! I love how he sounds it out. So dying to know some techniques you used with him. Zane keeps asking to learn how to read and I have no clue where to start.

    Do you remember what Stamp did when we first brought her over for a visit? She very carefully and lovingly gave Jossy a kiss on the forehead. It was such a tender act of love that I believe I cried.

    Ha! Oh Barb. She always cracks me up. Miles is getting so big!!! He seems like such a big guy in that first video. I love how excited you guys get when he figures out the word. And John’s music staff tee? Priceless.

    Love how the dogs want to be around the baby! My daughter read at about the same age as Miles. She’s been labeled as ‘gifted’, she’s 14 now. We read with her all the time, she keeps a dictionary near by all the time. You can tell that you have spent lots of time with Miles.

    That video of Miles reading is precious. He’s so stinking cute! Jocelyn is getting so big!
