Apologies, some baby pics :)
That first one reminds me of being asked to snap someones new baby, she thought I was a bit mad when I zoomed in on his tiny hand, then when she got the prints she was over the moon and thought the hand shot was the best of the bunch
Is this your first?
I was actually quite disappointed by my lousy focussing on the first shot, but it was too dark in there (the recovery room) to use a suitable aperture, and I had no tripod. I've kept the tags though, so I might try it again with 6 week old feet instead of shiny new ones

A fine set of photos of a fine young man.
Don't worry about the cradle cap. Baby photos should be wrinkles, birthmarks, cradle cap and all - if only to embarrass them when they bring their girlfriend/boyfriend home when they are older .
Are PixiPhoto still going???
Congratulations Tim.

Hehee, thinking rationally about it I know you're right, but our first one was such a beautiful baby (with cradle cap where it is supposed to be on top of his head!) that I feel bad taking photos of number 2 when he's going through this Freddie Kruger phase

My second and third were definitely no oil paintings but that didn't stop me taking hundreds of photos of them. The first was a good looking baby, nicely round head no weird markings. Tthe other two were monsters - huge babies with blotches and squashed heads and all sorts of things. Even I couldn't call them beautiful.
Luckily they grew up to be very handsome.
