Keep taking his pictures as much as you can because a baby grows up so fast. It's a good thing that digital cameras have been invented; you don't have to pay so much for films, development and printing to enjoy your photos. My two kids are 20 and 21 and I am glad that even if I've spent so much documenting their childhood through prints, they would always have tangible reminders of how loved and cared for they were as kids. Photos also give our children connected to us, parents, long after they're old enough to care for themselves and have their own families. You have a very cute baby.

How would you like it if every embarrassing moment from your childhood was caught on film? I'll take some short one or two-minute videos for sure, but I don't want to watch my kid grow up through a camera lens. If you've ever been to a kindergarten concert, sports festival or graduation ceremony, you'll know what I mean. It’s the video cameras that I’m worried about.

Growing up, we only had a few hundred of our older pictures to look at. Kids now will have several thousand. Kinda scary to think about it .... And here I am married without kids … :???:

Rikuto was born in late July so he's only a tad older than Noah (great name!). Wow, so there are at least three of us with newborn babies in Japan.

Reading that article you linked to was like deja vu. Even the part about the shrine in Hyogo (we live in Hyogo). I realized that I wasn't the author when he talked about the baby staying with his in-laws though :). We took little Noah (乃阿) straight home after our 10 days in the hospital. He hates being on his belly now. I hope he'll grow out of it soon. Rikuto looks strong and genki! My wife and I just had our first in September. Reading that article you linked to was like deja vu.
