I started sharing videos of Madeline on Fridays as an easy way to put up a post for the weekend. But, as Maddie grew older, Mike and I had a ton of fun putting together little movies where she was the star. I’ve re-shared our favorites over the last ten months. It’s been so hard knowing there are never going to be any new videos of Maddie.
Since we brought Annabel home, I’ve shown her a video of her sister every day. I take comfort in hearing Maddie’s voice and seeing her smile and bright eyes, and I have enjoyed sharing them with Annie. I am thankful every day that I took so many videos of Maddie – she will be more than just still pictures to her sister.
Keeping that in mind, we have taken some short videos of Annie so we can always have these early times with her at our fingertips. We know she’ll want to see them someday. Today I was giving Annie a little massage and the expression on her face was so cute, we had to capture it on video.
Presenting Annie’s film debut!
She is such a little sweetie.

I’m so happy you’re sharing Maddie with her baby sister. It’s such a wonderful idea, and Annie will learn to appreciate life and fun thru her big sister!
Elise says:
Oh my gosh, the cuteness!!!

Could she be any cuter? And I love the little baby sounds. Videos are awesome! It is so clear to see from her photos and the video that she is a happy and beloved baby. I wish for all babies that they would be born to parents like you guys. Thanks for posting this. It’s fun to see and hear ‘real time’. .
catherine lucas says:
Precious… I hope that you will continue to film Annie as much as you did Madeline… They are precious memories.
Moving images say almost more then still photographs.
A lovely baby for sure! She will be a star next to her sister…

Jenn says:
Hi Heather, Mike & Annie!!!
It was so cool to “meet:”Annie in person today!!! THANK YOU!!!! Boy, does she sure know her Mama!!! She is so responsive and so cute!!! You could tell she loved her massage and it seems to me,, she is (of course) TOTALLY ADVANCE for her age!!! Did you see her suck on that hand so Gracefully!??!!! PERFECT BABY GIRL!!!!
I think it’s also awesome you and Annie get to spend some special time each day seeing Maddie!!
Thank you for sharing your new precious gem with us. She is so dare cute!!! Lucky her to have such wonderful parents….lucky us for being able to celebrate her life every day! Thanks Again! ::-)
Take Care,
Jenn
P.S. Please tell Mike (he asked me a weather question on facebook) it’s going to be a Balmy day here today…..a high of -3 C (26.6 F). That’s almost getting close to Spring weather for us! We were suppose to get the brutal snow storms as well however, other than the 2 to 3 cm’s of snow fall one night and the temperatures dropping to -15c (5 F) with the wind chill factor – it turned out we were actually the lucky ones as I’m afraid, our USA neighbours didn’t fare as well as we did unfortunately.
Patty says:
What a beautiful angel!! That’s awesome that you are showing Annie videos of Maddie everyday! I’m sure she enjoys that and will for years to come. I truly believe that Annie and Maddie already know each other;). Love from AZ, @1mcmommy

Maddie says:
That is one blissed out baby. I showed it to Dan (husband) and it scared him silly when I showed him your thumbs popping into screen and how little she is. He’s never really been around a newborn, bless him.
She also most definitely Mike’s baby. *nod*
Happy weekend to you all. M xx

Erica says:
What a precious moment, Heather, and how wonderful that you were able to capture it.
Your Annie is indeed such a sweetie, just like her big sister Maddie. Annie is going to love seeing videos of Maddie over the years, what a precious memory, I am so happy that you have these videos and how wonderful that Annie is already being introduced to her big sister. Your girls are amazing, just like their Mum and Dad.
Thanks for sharing your adorable girl today.
With love from a snowy Luxembourg

Sue says:
Beautiful, Heather. I think we all want to hop up on the table and take our turn now!!LOL It was very plain to see that Annie loved every minute of it, too!! She was definitely trying to tell you how much!!
Brittanie says:
I’m so glad that you are able to share Maddie with Annie. I am certain that they will share the most unique & strong of bonds as Annie grows. I would trade all I have if you could see them grow together, but I am grateful that you have such wonderful little ladies in your life. What an honor to be able to call Maddie & Annie your daughters. *hugs*
I love that video…she is so utterly content…y’all are in so much trouble when she gets old enough to figure out what a spa is
Oh, and it goes without saying, but my goodness she is gorgeous!

Baby toes and baby buns are meant for nibbling! When my daughter was born (almost 21 years ago!) her foot turned in a bit, so I needed to massage it frequently to stretch the muscles. I always started massaged, and ended up nibbling!
SO beautiful, and so loved, that little Annabel!

The Friday videos were always my favorite thing, I looked forward to them so much every week. I always called them Friday Night Videos after the program from the early 80’s that was the only way to see music videos if you didn’t have cable (and I’m dating myself, but not too many people had cable at the time). I’m so pleased to see Miss Annie’s debut!
Peace to your family,

Heidi says:
So darling! You are so fortunate to have so many videos of Maddie. Sadly when I had my first after years of infertility treatment and over a year of unemployment for both my husband and I, we didn’t have the money for a video camera. Our camera at the time took poor video and had no sound, but they are the ONLY videos I have of my little girl when she was a baby. It makes me sad. I have very few of my son as a baby as well for the same reasons.
Now I try to remember to take video of even the “boring” moments in their lives (when they are just coloring or doing something so simple it seems like it isn’t interesting to record, but how I LOVE to watch those videos just a year later and see how much they’ve changed.
You know first hand the value of all those photos and videos you took of Maddie, so I know you’ll do the same with Annie. I hope someone else reading here takes this as a suggestion to do the same with your own children! *hugs*
