When our house was broken into a couple months ago, one of the things that was stolen was my Flip HD video camera. I loved that thing and I didn’t realize how MUCH I loved it until it was gone. I used to carry it around in my diaper bag (also stolen…) and just whip it out whenever I saw Bean doing something funny. It was so convenient!
When they stole my camera, we started using Chris’s iPhone for videos and that was pretty good, too. But it wasn’t nearly as convenient because #1 – I had to ask him for his phone every time I needed it which made me miss a lot of moments I would have caught quickly with my Flip and #2 – if Chris wasn’t around, then there was no video.
Then for my birthday in December, my parents surprised me with a new Flip camera! Now (since I don’t carry a diaper bag anymore), I keep the camera in my purse and it’s been like old times again. I’ve been catching little moments all over the place. Only, I keep forgetting to download them! So, tonight I downloaded all the videos from my camera that I took over Christmas break and I found a few of Bean that were definitely worth sharing.
In this first one, I was cooking when I heard Bean and Molly in Gracie’s nursery. I thought they were playing, so I grabbed the camera to get a video of the cuteness. Only, when I actually got in the room I discovered they weren’t playing at all and that Bean was MAD because Molly was drinking out of his sippy cup!!!
This second video is from just the past weekend. Chris, Bean, and I went to the outlets to exchange a pair of jeans I got him for Christmas. It was a beautiful morning and Bean was in a great mood. Such a good mood, in fact, that the dancing fever overtook him right there on the sidewalk!
1) Amy: Oh....that's gorgeous. I love it. (01.05.2011 08:37pm)

5) Angie: Omg seriously...that is SO cute. We want more videos of Bean!!! (01.05.2011 08:50pm)
6) Rachel: Thank you for the laugh! What a cute and funny little dude. (01.05.2011 08:52pm)
7) Nate's Mom: I can't get the videos to display - I hear the sound but I only get a green screen. Nate wants to see his buddy Bean! (01.05.2011 08:54pm)
8) Jessica: Ha ha....I love that Bean was telling Molly no. If only she had listened. And the dancing....so sweet. He is too cute. (01.05.2011 09:06pm)
9) Christina C.: Oh my gosh, his little voice just about made my heart melt. SO cute! (01.05.2011 09:12pm)
10) Leigh: Oh my! Bean has some adorable little moves. Great videos. (01.05.2011 09:13pm)
11) Margaret: Ok, so in my head Bean is speaking in full sentences and capable of the fine motor skills of a three year old. In my head he is light years older than my 18-month-old. These videos are AWESOME, and just make me realize that he's still a little dude, and that he and Ezra would probably totally get along! (01.05.2011 09:29pm)
12) Dyanna: At one point I came across your YouTube channel? Would these be on there and if so what is the channel name? I can only see YouTube videos on my Blackberry...... (01.05.2011 09:30pm)
13) Margaret: Also, my husband heard Bean say no in the first one and asked if it was Ez (whose favorite word is a very whiny noooo). Seriously, those no's are seared into my brain right now. How about we just say yes every once in a while? (01.05.2011 09:31pm)
14) Cindy In Owensboro, KY: Too cute! The one with Molly is very familiar to me because our dogs do the same thing!! (01.05.2011 09:34pm)
15) Dawn: OMG those are so cute!! It was like he was trying to fight the dancing at first - like he was trying to hold back, but could feel it coming on!! I sooo want a Flip video camera. I have been fighting THAT for a while now, and now I just really want one after watching these videos. (01.05.2011 09:36pm)
16) Casey: Best dance moves EVER!! (01.05.2011 09:38pm)
17) Abby @ They Lend Me Their Hearts: Go Bean! I love the videos, keep 'em coming! I hate to admit though that he is definately a better dancer and more coordinated than I am! (01.05.2011 10:10pm)
