We take as many as possible. We don't really print any but my Mum makes more memorable occasions into books for the girls... I think she misses the classroom. Examples are Imogen's Beach Holiday and The Zoo Trip. She even narrates them in true childhood manner, simple and lots of repitition... I love them, they are the thing I would save in a fire, I always get two copies as they get read to death and I want to keep one 'nicer' for when they are older to look back on. I would say books get made every month or so but that will probably slow down as they get older, they usually have about 20 pages.
We also take a zillion photos! Don't print many at all. In fact the only photos on display in our house is one canvas with a few wedding pics on it! I do want to change that and make a photo feature in one of the corners in our house. I have made a few photo collage's, one for each grand parent and I printed a few for an album for ds but they have been sitting in the draw for 6 months. I also made dh a book for fathers day and I attempted to make on for myself but it never got finished. Perhaps I can make a priority of the photo feature inside
I take a billion too. I don't really print them though. I print ones for the wall and then I print one photo book each year with the years photos. Getting the photos down for that is HARD!
As you say it changes depending on what we've been doing, usually over 1000 per month though. I have hardly printed out any! I do make digital scrapbooks, one huge one per year as well as a couple extras for special days. I really feel like I should have actual photos printed out and put in albums like we had when I was a child but have no idea how I would choose!
We are starting to get some on the walls. I'm meant to be going through and picking out my fav pics of both boys as well as our honeymoon as I have 3 frames that I am going to make collages with.
