After one month Baby Taylor is quite the little character wriggling around and showing a greater range of emotions. It was also a time where we brought Alfie outside,  introducing him to all manner of new places and people leading to some interesting opportunities.

Day 35. Alfie enjoyed trying to wriggle off his swing onto a hard floor today. He was however being held by his mum throughout (Photoshop to the rescue here). Light was a little awkward for this shot as Alfie was backlit by a sun behind and to the right of the frame, this was balanced by setting a flash on a stand quite high up and to the left of the camera at 1/2 power.

Day 37. Alfie is getting bigger now, still my little boy though.

Day 38. We have a smiley baby, and no it’s not wind. Maybe he just likes bikes, his granddad certainly does this is one of many he has restored. A challenge to light it was achived by bouncing a flash off a silver reflector to light the scene, then zoom ing another light onto Alfie to make him stand out in a fairly cluttered environment.

Day 40. An attempt to create a complex arrangement of baby related words on the board was foiled by Alfie wriggling when he was put into place. I think he enjoyed destroying the careful arrangement and the noise it made.

Day 44. A visit to grandmas house today, Alfie was fascinated by the flowers and spent some time with his fist wrapped round a bluebell. He seems to like the outdoors and it has a calming influence on him, probably the background noise combined with interesting shapes and lights capturing his interest.

Day45. Another Photoshop aided pic. Despite actually being hung on the washing line Alfie was held up by his mum he didn’t seem too impressed with this and will probably be even less impressed in 18 years time. Again mum helped out with this one by holding him up, and then needing to be removed.

Day 49. hat pictures are cool! So are babies who can hold their head up for pictures, not for long at the moment but it gives us some new options and ideas to keep his photos fresh.

Day 59. Alfie has a proper camera now, much better than his dads too.

Alfie keeps on growing up, now he’s smiling, interacting more and quickly learning how to roll around too. All his pics can be found here
