I upgraded to a Canon 10.6MP digital SLR when our daughter was about a year old, and one of the main reasons was because with my older point-and-shoot digital camera, the time between shots was almost a whole second, and it seemed like every time she'd do something really neat, I'd miss it.
The new SLR can blitz through a whole bunch of shots, and I almost always get a good one. One thing to make sure is that you buy the fastest memory card that you can afford, because this will (on some cameras) affect your ability to take a lot of shots very quickly before the card has to "catch up". I also bought a 75-300 lens with Image Stabilization and wow, what a help that has been for outdoor pics. I still have a lot to learn...
