Miles' 1-year montage - opinions

Is it too long at five minutes?? And actually, I need to add a few MORE images because, as you'll notice, it's just under the song length right now. Not sure how many people (besides me, of course) would want to sit through something like this at his party...

  • probably fine.  

    for our blog, I do one song length... that's it.  for us and the GPs cds, it's usually about 15-20min... 5-6 songs. 

    have fun. Cannot believe he's gonna be 1 already?

  • too long for a party?  NO.  i'm sure your party will be filled with people who genuinely love you and your kids and your pics are always great.

     

    too long for me to sit and watch right now, while both my kids are napping..  yes :)

  • is there a clicky there????  I wanna seee! I would sit through it now. ;)
  • Mine for both kids was 20 mins long and I had it on repeat at the parties.  LOL

    It's called "Lullaby" by the Dixie Chicks. I'm no country music fan, but I do like the Chicks and a few people on here had recommended the song. I totally forgot about it!

  • I can't watch it right now, but both of the ones I made for my kids' first year were 2 songs long and people love watching them.  So, I think 5 mins. is great.
  • I have 2 comments and a question, lol.

    Love the song choice!

    My favorite picture is the one of you holding him outside (I think you had a red or pink shirt on). It made me cry because it just shows how much love you have for your little boy :) 

    What is that fish thing?!?

    Sorry if my 2nd comment was cheesy, but that was how it made me feel. I LOOOOVE when something like that can come through a photograph.

    Thanks! And LOL. It's supposed to be something for the cats to sleep in, but they don't use it and both Nora and Miles have loved playing in/with it as babies.

  • love it, love the family intertwined throughout, love your dd playing doctor (fav. pix).  miles is beautiful.

     heck, i had no problem sitting through it and i don't know you people.  at your party they'll have no problem with the length.  (we used the same song for matt's and family stuck around and watched it again for latecomers).

  • Oh my god...I LOVE it!!  And he is the freakin' cutest!   Love everything about it, and I honestly didn't think it was too long, I was so interested in seeing the next adorable pic!  Your family is beautiful!!!!   Holy Cow, your DD looks just like your hubby!

  • How can he almost be a year already?!  

    I am a bad mommy, I never made one for Jackson.  Great job!
  • It was great, coker!  :)  I think 5 minutes is a perfect length for a party.

    Jackson's was 15 minutes, but we just ran it on a loop at his party the entire time, so that's how I justified it being longer.  People would stop and watch for a bit and them move on.

  • It looks great!  I don't think it's too long, but maybe that's because we used that same song for Kate's one year montage :)  And Miles and Ben have a LOT of the same clothes :) .  I love all the pictures with your various family members throughout it.
  • Love the song!  I can't believe he is almost a year...that went fast!  So cute!
