Some 9 month photos

I took some photos of Dominic on his 9 month birthday as I was unaware that Matt had already taken the traditional monster/Dom line-up for size comparison photo. It turns out the process is slightly more tricky than it used to be.

Phase 1 - Dominic lies next to monster where you placed him and figures out what you're trying to do. Duration: approx. 3 seconds.


Phase 2 - Dominic rolls onto his side to grab monster. Duration: 5-6 seconds.


Phase 3 - Photo shoot is turned into a game of monster peekaboo. Duration: many minutes of peekaboo giggly fun.


So then I decided to try to get a picture of him reading his 'That's not my monkey' book. He likes it when you make the loud 'ook, ook' noise for the ticklish monkey. However, cameras are distracting and I only got one shot before he grabbed the camera.


Also we got a cool new baby backpack for carrying him around in as he has outgrown his frontpack. Dominic really seemed to like it if you bounce around or run with hm in the backpack, and he is learning to kick his heels around to encourage you to go faster like a good little horserider. As long as we don't get him any spurs, it should be fine.
