Video of Mayz’ first seven months
Since Mayz was born last November, we’ve been shooting a series of video and still shots and I thought it would be a fun project to put everything together.
When he was first born, we didn’t have a video camera, so that’s mostly stills, but after that it’s all intermixed.
This was my first real video editing project. I don’t really know much about video editing and I have very simple software (Adobe Premiere Elements 4), but I think it turned out pretty good and it’s something we’ll be able to watch for the rest of our lives. Watching these clips is a reminder of just how blessed we truly are.
I wanted to post it so anyone else interested in seeing it can watch it. However, YouTube has a 10 minute max video length and this is 12 minutes so I had to cut it into two pieces. Part 1 and 2 are shown below.
Part 1 (8 min)
Part 2 (4 mins)
Those are priceless.

This is awesome! He will cherrish this one day also. My daughter was also born in November and it’s neat to see they do some of the the same things! My husband also rubs his face on her belly and she screams with delight! The video is beautiful and oozes of love and admiration between your family. I love it!
