Videos of Samantha: 4 - 7 weeks old

For those of you out-of-towners, here are some videos of our precious Samantha. Here's hoping these videos are playable on your computers... this is my first experience uploading videos to the blog!

When playing the videos, you need to click on the video to activate it. Then, you click on the "play button" (triangle button) in the bottom left of the video screen.

TIP: I have found that it is more enjoyable if you wait until a lot of the video has been buffered before starting to watch it. To do this, I click the "Play button" (triangle) and then immediately click the button again to pause the video. After a decent amount of the video has been buffered to your machine, click play, and you can watch the whole thing continuously (rather than having it stop and start while the video tries to catch up).

For the first few months, babies see Black/White and bold, contrasting patterns really well, which helped her develop a bond with Mr. Panda.

A short clip of Samantha "saying hi". In the video, she is about 6 weeks old, and starting to experiment with her voice a little more.
