Today I returned the Flip Ultra we were sent to review and I thought I would take the opportunity to blog what we thought of it. I really enjoyed using the Flip Ultra as it was so easy to use by me, my husband, and extended family. We were surprised by the quality of the videos considering the small size of the Flip Ultra although the quality noticeably degrades when using the digital zoom. The sound quality is good and we loved that the USB was internal. We thought that the plastic screen could be scratched quite easily but it…

Edward still *just* fits in his baby bath but I don’t think we’ll be using it for much longer. I couldn’t resist this little video that daddy took of Edward enjoying himself this evening. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj-qCouA7Rc&fs=1&hl=en_US] We will be returning the Flip Ultra tomorrow. We’ve had a lot of fun using it and got some great videos to keep. We’ll be posting our thoughts on it tomorrow.

I love this little video I took of Edward today. We had lunch at Giraffe and always try to feed Edward before our meals arrive. Edward is at the age where he’s distracted very easily so eating out is a bit of a struggle – it’s fun though 🙂 [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o60RlgfFEYU&fs=1&hl=en_US]

Edward enjoying his breakfast toast – he turned his nose up at his usual porridge with banana![youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMyrg54hkhE&fs=1&hl=en_US] We went swimming today which was great. I was supposed to dunk Edward right under the water twice but I was only brave enough to do it once! I’m not sure he’s completely happy with the dunking aspect of his swimming class but apart from that he loves splashing around. I wish I was able to take some photographs or video of his swimming. Edward spends a lot of the time with his mouth open whilst I swoosh him around. I wonder when…

I took 22 videos today of Edward as I’ve been trying to capture him moving from sitting to crawling. In the process I’ve taken video of him playing with his toys, shopping in Tesco’s and on the car ferry. He’s been eyeing up my changing bag for a while but today he finally got hold of it and had a good look. He also grabbed my (un-read) copy of Heat. We’re blaming Nanny for his love of magazines as yesterday she gave him a magazine which he quickly shredded – now no magazine is safe!

My youngest niece (aged 6) spotted the Flip in my bag and wanted to record her favourite cousin, so take a look at her efforts… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3N9E2EM5iw&fs=1&hl=en_US] My sulky teenage (14 years old) niece also took a video but it was mainly of herself! Both loved using the Flip Ultra as it so easy to use. This evening I edited the clip as I didn’t think anyone needed to see my husband’s builders bum in the background. It’s so easy to edit I think Edward could manage it. Day 2 and we’re still loving the Flip!

Following my Lady GaGa moment I have been sent a lovely Flip Ultra to review for a week. A week doesn’t seem a long time but Edward seems to learn a new skill every day so I am challenging myself to make a video of him every day and use my poor neglected YouTube account. The last couple of days we have been visiting my poor father in law who fell 12 feet off a ladder. Whilst staying in a hotel Edward seemed to practically roll over and stand up simultaneously! I’m looking forward to trying to capture these gymnastics.…
