Look out Spielberg

As I have mentioned before, the wife works out with Annabelle twice a day most days. They sprawl out on the bed and work on sitting up and rolling and crawling from one end of the bed to the other. The wife makes it hard but fun for Annie and there is usually a lot of grunting amidst more laughter than tears.

A while back the wife took some photos of Annie during a workout and I thought they were cute and wanted to post them but I couldn't think of any snappy captions other than, "Hey look at my cute kid". So I decided to try my hand at making a video with them.

I used whatever stock program came with the laptop (Microsoft something or other). It took me longer than it should have but I got it done quicker than I expected. I think I could slap it together in half the time next go-round. It was more fun than I expected so maybe we will be putting more of these together in the future.

Anyway, here is my half-baked-first-attempt at stitching together a video (I tried to test drive as many transitions and effects as I could - really, I was just trying to get the pictures to end the same time as the music). Oh, all the photos are from the same workout session but I dropped in a video from another workout just so I could figure out how to do it so that is why the outfits change (as if it matters).

Enjoy!

Just like Rocky, the perseverance and tenacity is inspiring and has moved me to tears.

Thank you for reminding me that going to the park to watch him run and jump is a blessing.

She is so inspiring! I too find myself with tears spilling over as I watch her. What a sweet baby! I just love her! Great job, dad!

This is such an awesome video! I cannot get enough of her pudgy little arms, doing little push-ups... and that SMILE! Seriously, the girl has an infectious one.
