Eleanor’s First Year (Montage) from Nicole Balch on Vimeo.
Music: “(You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am” by The Living Sisters.
I’ve finally finished the video I wanted to make, so that’s one more item crossed off the 30 Before Thirty list. I’ve also had prints made of my many, many photographs to be put in albums, so that takes care of another! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. Brandon and I do, and I’m sure my mom will like it.

That shot of her crawling towards the camera may be the most precious thing I’ve ever seen. Wonderful job, and congratulations on your pregnancy!
She is just adorable! It is amazing to see how fast little ones change. You did a wonderful job on the video.
Do you mind sharing which site or software you used to make it?
I used iMovie on my Mac.
Thank you!
I LOVE it!
Awww…that was so sweet. I love the video of her crawling!! What program did you use to make this?
Someone else just asked right above you too. I used iMovie (and this was the first thing I’ve made with it, so it was pretty easy).
*tear* Bravo! Bravo!
I love this! I love the clip of her crawling and then peering into the camera!
I always have grand plans to make many more videos than I do – of course, I don’t have a baby for subject matter – only dogs!
LOVE it. My little girl is due in just a few weeks. This made me tear up – beautiful job. What a tribute to your daughter.
What did you use to put this altogether? iDVD on a Mac?
Precious! I did one of these too and am starting another for the 2nd year (birthday is in less than 2 weeks though!) Better get a move on.
Well, now you’ve gone and made me cry! Only because that was so delightful and sweet and lovely – thank you for sharing the video.
great great job!!!! Eleanor will love this sooooo much when she is older, she will know how much love she had in her 1st year even if she can’t remember it.
LOVE this.
and the crawling video is the BEST one I’ve ever seen!
Oh golly… I did fine until the segment of video where she’s crawling towards the camera, then I totally got all teary. I’ve got a serious case of cute baby envy!
This is going to be such a treat for her when she’s older :)
Thank You for sharing this wonderful video! You have captured Eleanor’s expressions and moods perfectly.She is one of the sweetest babies I have ever seen.
So beautiful. I cried like a baby. You captured her first year so well. I can’t believe how quickly time passes.
Love this so much….what a great job you did. Thanks for sharing with us!
PRECIOUS!
This is so heart-touching…I could watch it over and over!!! A beautiful keepsake from a beautiful Mom! Thank you for all the sharing of *you*!
Awww. She’s adorable! You can really see how she’s grown and changed over the year.
The comments above say you’re expecting again? Congrats!
What’s the name of the song? I LOVE it!
I linked to it below the video. It’s “(You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am” by The Living Sisters.
How beautiful Eleanor is!! What kind of camera do you use?
I have a Flip for video footage, and I use a Canon EOS Digital Rebel (DSLR) and a Canon G10 for photos.
WHAT A SWEET PEA. I LOVE THE CRAWLING VIDEO. CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW LITTLE ONE.
Just adorable! The soundtrack was perfect too :) I’m off to check that one out right now.
She is so adorable!! Love this video… Great job
As we say in our house, this is like 7 different kinds of awesomeness. It made my day, and I love the song.
This is so wonderful! I’m sure it took you some much time to pick out each picture and put it all together! You are so inspiring!
First time commenting…
LOVE the video. I’ve done those before for my girls…always a pretty emotional thing for a mama.
I love how you capture her on a daily basis…she will look back on those photos and this video one day and know without a doubt how much you guys adored her, which is the best gift any one person can ever get!
And I will definitely have to borrow that song for a client gallery for sure!! : )
That was super, super cute. You have a beautiful family Nicole.
Beautiful.
So heartwarming Nicole. Its fun not only to see Eleanor grow up but also see glimpses of your daily life. I get a sense of your cozy home, those days where you’re working and Eleanor is crawling around the office, those little things she does that make you and Brandon laugh. That’ll be a nice memory for her when she’s older.
I love the music you chose! Have you ever posted a playlist? You have great taste and style so I’m sure I’d like what you listen to as well.
I LOVE it! She is the cutest. Congratulations!! Thank you for sharing!
You did the greatest job with this! I love the live video intermingled with the snapshots and that little Eleanor is such a love! Congrats :)
So Lovely!!!
Also…Katamari prince! Love that!
So beautiful! I love the “I’d rather be drinking blood” shirt for Halloween. Cracked me up.
Sweetness!!!
that was beautiful.
Oh so sweet!
This was incredibly sweet…I love the way you added a small video clip in the middle. Simply beautiful, wish you many more years to come Eleanor!
Adorable from start to finish. And so many pretty outfits :)
