Cute little girl, that video made me laugh.
 
2012-04-23 04:38:38 PM
Really cool. I wish I had thought to do something like this with my daugher, who's a similar age.

I just figured he'd asked her to talk about what was up with her life that week when he filmed.

She's female, isn't she?

/that's no illusion

There's also a link to a film of his son. I'd tell you what that's like, but I'm having a seat over th[NO CARRIER]

I am going to guess subby does not know any females 3 to 12

Like it stops after 12. My 17 year old daughter never shuts up and neither does my ex wife. I'm convinced they could save bucks on dental care by just letting the sonic vibrations from their never-ending wordspew blast the plaque off their teeth.

So I take it all the years were not given equal time? I mean, she seemed to hit 11.5 years about halfway through the video and the second half of the video was the last six months. Or I could just be really bad at judging girls ages

She kinda looks like ET.

my sister is 28, it's been nonstop since she learned to talk

what's worse is, no matter how gently and politely I try to phrase it, asking her to shut up for a few minutes almost always results in immediate emotional breakdown or attack pattern delta
 
2012-04-23 06:34:55 PM
That was kind of disturbing. Works better if your child isn't miserable for the majority of their childhood.

Her age is super-imposed over the frames near her birthday. She was six halfway through the video.

Anything but attack pattern delta!

No, you're just really bad at reading. I'm presuming the numbers flashing in the video correspond to her age.

She hits 6 about half way through.

Or your connection lagged for the last 30 second of the video, making it last as long as the first 2 minutes.
 
2012-04-23 06:57:06 PM
It's a girl, subby.
They will never shut up.

As an only child this sort of sibling interaction has always amused me.

/got a ton of presents

Ah, thank you. No way I would have noticed that without someone pointing it out. Damn ADHD.
 
2012-04-23 07:21:36 PM
Yes, it looks like the girl never shut up ever, but the boy didn't either.

Additionally, the boy spent many more years sticking his fingers in each visible orifice.

/Just saying.
 
2012-04-23 08:00:53 PM
As a father of a 12 year old girl I can assure you, they really don't stop.
 
2012-04-23 08:21:58 PM
There was this woman, aged 98, and she stopped talking.

So yes, they do have a finite amount of words to spew. If they live long enough.

If you watch the video in reverse, you can see Pedobear getting more and more excited.

Why, yes, I'll take a first class ticket to hell, please, thank you very much.

Seriously, cute kid. I liked how you could see her mannerisms repeat.
 
2012-04-23 08:55:06 PM
Very cool project.

bmr68: Very cool project.

THIS. But... it seems like she was really upset in a lot of those early shots...

/Though, knowing my kids, he probably tried the old "Would playing with daddy's cameras make you feel better?" trick, and that's what I'm seeing.

Mine are in their early twenties, they still haven't shut their yaps.
When is it suppose to happen?
 
2012-04-23 09:45:38 PM
Of course she never shuts up, she's a she.
 
2012-04-23 10:42:37 PM
I liked this video collage quite a lot.

i attempted something similar when my children were babies. i took a twenty second to two minute video of each of them each day. I thought it was coming along rather well. Then, my husband taped an X-Files episode or some foolishness over it.

Yeah.

In my family, the boy child is the talker. He talks right until he falls asleep. Nearly every night his last words are "But I'm not ..."
 
2012-04-23 10:53:33 PM
kinda wish I had the gumption to do something like this with my kids. the pictures will have to tell the story. Like the one of his son better honestly. looks like a fun kid.

No way...keep it going....it'll be totally awesome when they turn into Grays halfway through.

This is priceless. I wish I had thought of it! But, I think I've got something similar happening right now (just not as cool).

My 9 month old recently figured out how to take pictures of himself with my DS. He sees himself, takes a picture and giggles and he's been doing it almost daily for the last few weeks. He's gotten quite confident with it and is pretty good at framing himself and all that. I just like the variety of expressions he's managed to capture. I'm backing them up and keeping them all for purely mommy sentimental reasons. Maybe when he's 18 or something, I'll put them in a "Baby's Self-Portrait" album for him.

I am slightly worried about the narcissism though.

You wonder how many parents start something like this and then quietly give up when their children turn out to be ugly little trolls.
 
2012-04-24 05:44:36 AM
He should keep it going so we can slowly watching her high-school descent into meth and whoring ala Lindsay Lohan.

talk back. Really go in depth about whatever they talk about. The one thing women hate is someone who talks as much as them. Then they say "Do we have to talk all the time, can`t we just enjoy each others company?"

THIS. I have a five-year-old daughter. She has not shut up since age 2. Luckily, she's hilarious most of the time, but oh my god my ears are tired.

That's like saying you're worried your son is selfish. Of course he is. He's much too young to be concerned about anyone but himself.
