I’ve recently upgraded my laptop from a second hand Acer to a second hand MacBook Pro (there’s a second hand theme here…). So I’ve been transferring all my photos and have been amazed at how many thousands of pictures of Twink I have….and saddened at how few of Squishy I have. This may be second child syndrome, but only by default I think…every time Twink sees my camera he wants to play with it (a.k.a take close up photos of his own eyes) so I can’t use it as frequently as I did with him. In fact, I take the easy way and rarely use it at all if he’s around. It also ran off AA batteries, which lasted about 5 minutes, so every time I picked it up I had to replace them.
Anyway, I got a new camera for my birthday from my dad who was shocked at the poor picture quality of my old camera (I tried to explain that I’m just not a good photographer…I just don’t have steady hands!). So I’m  setting myself a challenge. I have to take a photo (with a camera, not a phone) of Squishy every day. I may not be able to post it every day as…well I get busy sometimes! But I have to take a new picture each day. I’d like to do that until she is at least 6 months (7th August)…although then we’re getting into the messy photo op fun that is baby led weaning, so I might continue.
Here are today’s pictures. They were taken in bed as she was looking so adorable despite having kept me awake all night…she doesn’t look tired though!
As you can see from the black and white shot, I will also be playing around with the editing stuff in iphoto…lots of fun to be had! So far I’m finding it much easier than photoshop. Sorry if any of these shots are blurry…I’ll check back later, but my glasses are on the bed next to Squishy, and now she’s asleep I am NOT risking waking her! Besides…I’m not very blind 
I’m glad I’ve started this…was feeling a little guilty for having so few photos of her…especially as I love the whole newborn stage!
