Sebastian's Quiver

I bought an older model Flip camcorder for $50, and I wanted to see how well it worked when posted to the blog.  So here it goes.

Sebastian Rolling Along

Let me know if you can view this or not.  Sorry that it’s not embedded directly in the page.

It’s video time!  Not much to report here in Portland.  No fancy trips to the mountains or the coast or the Gorge.  Sebastian is growing like a weed.  He’s heavier every day and his legs keep getting chubbier and chubbier.  He’s also teething a bit.  And grabbing at anything and everything.  I started reading Sebastian some Shakespearean sonnets and some Beowulf (translated – I’ll leave the Old English version to my elder sister). He’s also starting to scootch himself backwards when you put him on the floor.  He’s not quite ready to crawl, but he’s getting pretty darn close.

No photos today, but here is a short video of Sebastian that we took with my camera.  Juliann was the camera person.

Sebastian Laughing His Ass Off

Well, I hope you liked that interlude.  If that video didn’t work for you, well, what can I say – buy a Mac.

I thought that I would share this bit of cuteness:

Sebastian Being Cute

If you can’t view it, let me know.  It’s a Quicktime movie, so you might need to install Quicktime if you don’t have it.

So I heard that some people are watching the videos on the internets nowadays. I thought that I’d give it a try, though not through the youtubes. Uploading my son to the youtubes seems a bit creepy – you don’t know who is doing what over there. So here it is the Sundance sleeper hit, “Sebastian After His Bath, Dressed As a Crocodile”:

(For those of you who can’t see the embedded video above, click here for a direct link to the video.)

What camera work! What cinematography! What costume design!

Let me know how you like the video. If I get some positive responses, I can keep posting them. If I do, I’ll also test outreal streaming video since my hosting company provides the service for free.
