Toddler Video Clearinghouse

I've finally uploaded a bunch of videos of Max from my phone to YouTube. Here they all are, for those among you who are interested in videos of Max being funny. Be forewarned that a couple of these are for serious Max fans only, as not a lot happens. I don't know why I'm apologizing. Enjoy.

1. Max and the Ho-Di-Ho Hat (previously posted on Facebook)

2. Max plays in the snow

3. Maisy makes a goal

4. Swinging with Nana Debbie

5. Advice for 9-month-old cousin Lily

6. Here's an old one I found on my computer, from the Summer of '11, when Max was about 7 months old.

You should sing Happy Birthday twice, you know." So I've been doing that. I've been singing Happy Birthday twice every time I wash my hands.
F: That's delightful! Who are you singing Happy Birthday to when you do it?
M: To my hands.
