Scorpios are known for having problems with drugs and alcohol. They often need to escape cruel realities of life. The real world seldom meets their deep spiritual needs for true sharing and connection. Teach them as children how to get these needs met and you will have an adult with more willpower and focus then most people can comprehend. Raise your Scorpio in violence, anger, negativity, and loneliness and you will create an adult capable of being selfish, manipulative, and extremely revengeful.

Adult Scorpios raised to use their gifts and powers in a positive constructive manner are among some of most amazing people. They give so much back to world once they know that they are deeply connected to it. They will give their last dollar to a stranger in need because sharing is what they do best. Healthy happy Scorpios are most passionate and loyal spouses, employees, and members of society. Raise your Scorpio well and you will give an incredible leader to planet. They have brilliance, compassion, and stamina to create anything they set their minds to. Scorpios can change world.

3) Make bath time picture time.

While there are some babies who don't like water, most love it. They often become very expressive in bath tub - laughing, cooing and splashing. So bath time often becomes a great opportunity to capture a few precious shots of your little one.

I've personally used bathtub to document how Layla has changed over her 2+ years. Every couple of months I take a few close-up pictures of her in bathtub. Then I take best one and place it in a special section in photo album.

It's truly amazing to see how her face changes so dramatically with each new picture.

4) If you use a disposable camera, choose a good one.

I purchased 3 dirt cheap disposable cameras before I had Layla. When we brought her home these were ones we used for first week of photo taking.

Boy was I disappointed! The pictures developed horribly. And as a new mommy with hormones still raging, you know how sad this made me. Those cuddly little moments can never be relived again.

I learned a good lesson though. You get what you pay for.

Now my disposable camera of choice is Kodak Max HQ. It's one of more pricey disposable cameras. However quality is fantastic in comparison to other disposables I've used.

You can usually buy them inexpensively on eBay. Popular retailers like Target and Wal-Mart also run sales on them quite frequently.
