Watching this video wasn’t as compelling as I thought it might be. The videos of adults taking day by day over the course of a year, or more spectacularly of pregnant mothers taken every day prior to birth both show noticeable and at times remarkable change. In the case of this baby, the change is (I guess not surprisingly) less obvious particularly without something present for scale.

Anyway, interesting nonetheless so have a look. Baby photographed every day for the first year of life.

So I met my dream child this week on a flight to Toronto. I suppose met isn’t really the right word… encountered might be a better choice. Anyway, I checked in late and was granted the dreaded seat 22f. Last row before the toilets and blessed with seats that don’t recline (which was to be key as this was a 7am flight). As I approached the seat I noticed the young woman in the middle was holding something, and that something was moving.

6:45 am, sleep badly needed and a the promise of a screaming kid for the next 4 hours.

It was at this point that fate intervened and the parents mentioned that their mother was seated a few rows up and was willing to trade seats. I gladly accepted their offer, but much to my surprise the baby didn’t make a sound all flight… though someone in a seat near me had serious gas. Life isn’t fair.
