Time-Lapse Calendar: A Year Of Lex

2009-08-yearoflex.jpg

We were looking through some photos from our sons' first few weeks the other day and couldn't believe how much he's grown and changed the past year. So we were especially tickled to come across this video composed of daily photos parents took of their son Alexander from the day he came home from the hospital until his first birthday which they then turned into a video.

 
 

The video acts like a flip book of photos where you can watch "Lex" practically grow before your very eyes. We bet this became a nice ritual for Lex's parents, but we're not sure we'd have the discipline to follow through with it every, single day (but perhaps monthly like Nicole).

This is GREAT! My boy would have eaten the calendar dates, though! We're doing photos daily, but they're in different places, depending on what we do each day. Not sure what we'll do with them when we're done:

Very cool! For my daughter, I took pictures every week for the first year, but not in the same place like that. I'm planning to put together an album/flip book for us and the grandparents. I like what they did too, though--maybe next time!

Does anyone know who sings the wonderful song on the video?

Jack Johnson sings this song on the Curious George motion picture soundtrack. It's a favorite here.

How awesome! Yeah, and I thought I had my work cut out for me with my monthly photos. ;)

The song in the video is "We're Going to Be Friends" by the White Stripes, Lisa.
