Perhaps it’s my 20/20 hindsight, but I found this video captured the first year with a baby so beautifully. It has ups and downs. Funny moments. Dull moments. Chaotic moments.

It made me all teary and made me feel like I wanted another one…..and so grateful that I was done with that stage.

There are two parts in this that I think are hysterical: one when he sees a puppet for the first time, and another when he nearly jumps out of his skin when someone honks a horn. Just awesome.

And if it’s driving you nuts, the song is from the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack.

Sam wrote: “Meet our son Indigo who was born on the 9th July 2012. From that day my wife and I videoed Indigo at least once a day, every day up to a year old. For his first birthday we’ve spent some time putting together a video of his entire first year. He doesn’t quite appreciate it yet, but we hope that in a few years he will.

MUSIC: Thanks to Mychael Danna and Devotchka for use of “The Winner Is” music from the “Little Miss Sunshine” soundtrack.”
