Year Two (Pt 2)

Here’s the second part of the Year 2 picture video. Most of these pics were taken between June and December, 2008. You can view the first part here. Particular pics that stand out:

  • Lucy’s “field trips” w/ her mom, Auntie Laura, and Gma Susan
  • Lucy goofing around with Wubert
  • Lucy (finally) having enough hair for pigtails (like Mei from My Neighbor Totoro)
  • Lucy playing w/ Auntie Laura’s cats
  • Playing at the park
  • Lucy’s ongoing fascination w/ guitars (maybe when she’s big enough she’ll want a tele, a pink paisley would be cool)
  • Halloween Fun

For music, I went with an East Coast theme:

Year Two (pt 1)

Last year I posted a couple of videos based on pics taken from the first twelve months of Lucy’s life. The videos were called “Year One (pts 1 and 2)”, and yes, the title was lifted from the Batman comic. Now that Lucy has completed her Year 2, here’s a video based on pics taken from January – June of 2008. I’ll post a second video for July – December, 2008 soon.

Year One (pt 2)

This is the other part of the “Year One” video I posted earlier today. All pics used in these two videos have been arranged chronologically. ‘Part 1′ concentrates on the first half of 2007, “part 2″ the latter half.
