My older son used to hide whenever the camera came out... the younger one followed it around and always made sure his best side was showing, lolol! Guess who I have more of from about the age of 18 months old?

I am one of 8... eldest... and my folks didn't have a camera when we were small, so there are only a few flying around... more of me than my younger brothers and sisters, until we got to the youngest... loads of her.

My mother forgot the birthdates of two of my siblings.......... they celebrated their birthdays a day early until they were in their teens, lolol

Love

Daff xxxx

Lots of photos (including a studio portrait) of big sister
Quite a few of middle sister (4 years younger) plus lots of the 2 of them.
A hand ful of me as a baby (8 years after middle sister).
However quite a few of me when I'm older (usually as part of a family group).

Maggie
It must be the same for many youngest children that the amount of photos decreases.... No excuse for not knowing your birthday though.

I remember slide shows when our's were young, picturing the older 2 being 'snapped' in various locations in Cyprus and Italy as well as this country.
Youngest used to get impatient and say...
" But when am I going to be born?"

We have a few pictures of her too, ...Lol.

I'm the youngest of three and the only girl . There are hundreds of baby photos of brother number one , a fair few of brother number two and about 10 of me as a baby .I think the novelty of babies had worn off by the time I arrived............lol

Ooh Hayley - your mum was worse than mine!
There are 6 photo's of me on my own or with a parent or grandparent - the rest are me (usually just the head in the corner) with my brothers & sister!

I'm the youngest of 4.
Just been looking through and old photo album of photo's of (mainly) us children, in which my mum had carefully written the names of the people and dates next to the photo's.
Brother number 1 - date & place of birth and LOTS of photo's.
Brother number 2 - 13 months later - date and place of birth- quite a lot of photo's.
Sister - 2 years and 6 months later - date and place of birth - quite a few photo's.
Me. 4 years and 5 months later. Date and place of birth - a handful of photo's - but after all these years, I've just noticed - mum has WRITTEN MY BIRTH DATE DOWN WRONG!!!
What makes it even worse is that it looks like she's written down 10 - then changed it to a 12.

My birthday is on the 11th!!!!
I know I was an unwelcome 'accident'. Do you think it was a case of trying to negate my existence? *sob*
