Videos of the Kids

Having a baby changes your life — and that’s the understatement of the year. Kids have invoked in us laughter, and tears, and everything in between. Almost every day they learn something new, or do something unexpected, and despite the tiredness and occasional frustration, they constantly lights up our lives.
Here’s a collection of videos I’ve made that attempt to capture some of the wonder and delight of having kids…
