Last week was a good week for my blog; it got a lot of love. This week, not so much. But that probably means I am doing good, productive things. Probably.
I have taken some adorable videos of Addison lately; I had to since Brandon and his sweet girlfriend Katie (whom I’ve never met but am quite certain she is at least as nice as Brandon) once again sent some cute gifts for Addison’s birthday. Silly Brandon, I told him I’ll have to keep embarrassing him via the blog as long as he keeps being so darn generous. He’s really vying for the favorite uncle label — all my brother, the blood relative, does is question if she’s bow-legged and marvel at her ginormous teeth.
Have I mentioned that, by the way? Addison has two large, pretty-much adult-size front teeth. They are the cutest thing in the world! But huge. Seriously.
But back to the video thing . . . it seems that I have to pay to post videos on here. I think . . . I haven’t explored it too closely. Anyone know about WordPress and videos?
Since I can’t post the videos of Addison’s adorable walking, which by the way has exploded (in a good way) over the last week, I was trying to find a youtube clip that would give you the gist. Unfortunately, there are no youtube clips (or perhaps Dan Carter could find one since he is so good at the internet that he solved my mystery last week — thanks again!) of the scene in the movie E. T. where E. T. gets drunk off beer. Picture that, except with a shorter neck and fingers and less visible ribs.
I wonder if the title “like a third cousin once removed” is still up for grabs.

Posting videos–If you get an imbed code from the video and then change the screen where you type your post from Text to HTML, you can insert the code and it will come up as video. Either that or if you have a video on your computer you can upload it as well. Or if none of that made sense, the short answer is–you don’t have to pay. It will post video.

I have a (free) YouTube account where I post videos. You can embed videos from there pretty easily. I don’t think you have to pay to post them here, but I have found embedding to be much easier. There’s a plugin you can get on wordpress that makes it even easier.

Take a look at Las Palmas drunk baby YouTube video. Even if it doesn’t remind you of Addison, it’s pretty freaking hysterical!

[...] you should also watch this video. My friend Sarah pointed me to it after my drunk walking post. Not that I condone actual drunken babies, but fake drunken babies, that’s just good [...]

We would call Madeleine our drunken little sailor when she’d walk around with her milk bottle. =) Hehe.
