New Parents: The Daily Photo...

[ScreamingMeemie]

This is something my brother did (and of course we laughed at him but it IS very cool) with my niece. For the first year of her life, every morning he placed her on her back on the same background and took a full face/body shot. At the end of the year, he took the best photos and put them page by page in an album. It is truly amazing now to the subtle changes that took place. I wish I had thought of something like that. Since we have a new crop of bouncing babies here at DU, not to mention parents to be...I thought I'd share that.

Of course, we still make fun of him....

3. She looks like she is asleep.

That is one way to get a shot of still toddler. :)

4. What a cutie!

I'll mention that to my daughter, who is expecting my first grandchild next year. Sounds so interesting and since I live in another state, that would be a way for me to see the baby as she or he (we don't know yet) grows.

5. I think Rosie O'Donnell did that with at least one of her kids.

It would be amazing to see them change.

I was never that organized to do it w/ my kids, though.

6. Remember the movie "Smoke"?

Whole story was built around this exact same premise.

There's something so adorable about kids in sunglasses, isn't there?
