I’m not a parent (yet), but if I ever do have kids I definitely want to chart their lives as they grow from helpless babies into confident teenagers and eventually fully-formed adults.

Whether I’ll manage to create something as stunning as this video remains to be seen.

This doting father filmed short clips of his daughter every week from being a newborn to the age of 12, which, when spliced together in a timelapse video, makes for an awesome watch.

The girl is very photogenic and, quite possibly, very chatty. Let’s hope she indulges her dad as she gets older and sulkier, because I’d love to see this carry on until she hits 18 and flies the coop.
