Two of my children are in there teens and my daughter is almost 1. Years ago all I had was the big camcorders and the the disposible photos. But with my daughter it was all digital. And all though I take way more photos now as it's so much easier and quicker. I wanted to ask mum's how ofter they are in the photos as I seem to be the absent mother. I was putting together an album and realised the kids are all the way through the Album with my daughter in her first year. Where I'm lucky to be in any. I only have about 20 with me in her first year. Could I ask are you in the photos and how many would you say you had with your children in there first year. My husband thinks I am being silly as photos are just frozen moments in time and memories and cuddles are much more important. And you can't feel the love in a photo but you can remember the cuddles love and affection as you grow. My mum is only in a handful of photos with me and I love her dearly.
