Fun with the kid
Claire @ the Atlanta Zoo
Originally uploaded by c a s e. We bought a new camcorder this weekend since the last one has died on us after six years of sporadic use. It's a Canon Elura 80 and after reading tons of reviews on camcorders lately, settled on this one based on price and featureset. After using it for a day or so, I agree with the reviews about the less than optimum low light performance, but didn't want to shell out another $500 for a 3CCD camera.
I'm hoping this one get's a little more use as a result of the cool features. This morning while Christy was still asleep, I videotaped Claire performing her animal sounds and signs. One of the amazing things Christy has done with Claire is to teach her sign language. She knows tons of different animals and how to say please, thank you, more, food, water, etc. Of course she's been starting to talk pretty good too, so her thing now is signing and talking at the same time.
Anyways, this morning, I captured some of her signs on video; transferred it to the computer; and then I uploaded it to Ourmedia.com after reading about the service over at Scoble. Check out how cute she is!
