A funny video of Reina practicing the Kindermusik Hello song, in which her teacher asks all the kids, “How should we sing to you, ___?” They’re suppose to respond with an action like clapping or jumping or, well, just watch…

Signing Time
One of Reina’s favorite programs is Signing Time. In fact, we are proud owners of one entire library of every DVD, CD, book, and flashcard they ever made and Geeta and I constantly evangelize to all who will listen the benefits of teaching sign language to children. In all honesty, this video speaks volumes more than we could ever say:
8-6-4
It’s been 864 days since the old “pink” theme went live on Reina Gibbs, so I figured a new look was long overdue. Unfortunately, that meant upgrading the blog software, too. Doing one can be a bit of a chore, but both was a bit more time-consuming than I considered.
I’ve been working on Reina’s new look for a while now. It’s largely a cross of my own artwork with the excellent Typograph theme by PinkandYellow.com (other influences from here and here).
I still have a little housekeeping yet to do, including:
- restoring the Contact page
- implementing ThickBox (for pop-up pictures and pages) - until I do this, clicking on pictures in some of the older posts will open them in a new window.
- restoring her older videos - I had these in a separate page in the old design. Not sure yet what I’ll do with these. I will be posting all new videos on YouTube and embedding them in blog posts
- general clean-up - I was only able to do a short round of testing on this theme. There are a few features I still need to look over.
In any case, this is Reina’s new theme - called Toddler Comic. What do you think?
Fun with Photoshop
I’ve been playing around with some different Photo-to-Cartoon Photoshop tutorials. The samples below are from using the tutorial from MacMerc.com.
Posting again…
Wow, how the time flies. I suddenly looked up and realize I haven’t posted anything in 2008! Life gets busy with Reina. Geeta and I have still been shooting lots of pictures and video, and little Reina is growing like mad. We are continually amazed by her everyday.
I’ll try to make up for the lapse in updates…
The First Wave
Who knew Reina’s first trip to the beach would come of Christmas Eve? But here we are in sunny Los Angeles where it is 80° the day before Christmas. Reina loved the beach and cried when we left. I’ll put the rest of the photos up on Shutterfly soon.
