  1. What a lovely video I found on your website this am! It is wonderful to be able to watch your son’s progress. Thank you for taking the time and the trouble to share it with others.

  2. Benjamin is so lucky to have such a smart Daddy documenting his milestones of his first year in such a fine fashion! I love the music…it so fits all the action. Now he’s walking…boy..you thought you were busy before…watch out now!!

  3. Amazing little guy! We miss seeing him grow up but are so grateful for the technology that allows us to follow him so closely. Thanks Jon and Nic- you are awesome parents.
