On the 26th of April 2007 I put in a post called "Take a moment to compare", with a photo of Peanut with his teddy at 8 days old and 8 weeks old. Well on the 8th of October he turned 8 months old and of course another photo was taken of him with his teddy.
This photo was not as easy to take as the first photo. Ever since Peanut figured out how to roll himself over easily he had been flipping onto his tummy when he sleeps. And if I tried to turn him over to take the photo he would wake up and the opportunity to get the desired shot was gone. Luckily on the day this picture was taken, he was soooo tired when I put him in his cot that he went straight to sleep before he had the chance to flip over!
So for the full comparison, here is a photo of how he prefers to sleep now - he flips over, shuffles out from under his blanket, tucks his legs up under himself, and falls asleep on top of the covers.
We are lucky that Peanut is a bit of a snorer, with the way he now buries his face we can still easily tell that he is breathing!!!

As readers of my blog will know, i have been considering whether to upgrade my flickr account so i can store an unlimited amount of photos.
Well after thinking / blogging / talking to myself i decided that it was a good idea. Not only would i be able to share unlimited photos of our little peanut but the photos would be available in their full resolution format.
Now imagine my surprise when for my birthday (about two weeks ago) i received some money from my mother-in-law with the direct instruction that it was to be used to subscribe to flickr!!!
Peanut is not eight months old (well eight months, one week and four days) and i have noticed that we are not taking photos of him in the same way we were. We used to take a couple of photos of him every day, and all he would be doing in lying somewhere smiling at us. Now we seem to only take photos of him a couple times a week, or every few days at the most - but we are taking more photos in a single sitting.
The photos we are taking now seem to be trying to capture a baby milestone or something that he has only just gotten the hang of doing.
So if you find that the photos have dropped off, it may not be because there have been less taken, but more that there have been more taken that are all the same.
