Babies first year goes by incredibly fast. I have TONS of pictures but some of my favorites are the ones where I can clearly see that the children have grown & changed. One of the things I did to document my own children’s growth is I took a picture of my child lying down at the Doctors office at every well-baby appointment. I’d then upload it to Facebook along with their weight, height & percentiles so that I wouldn’t forget!
I quickly released it was much easier to document that way then searching around for papers myself or the Dr. had written on, plus it was just a lot of fun to see the growth right there in your face. I was also then able to look back & compare each child to each other. It’s something I’m so glad I did.
One of the cutest ideas I have seen in the past couple of years & I’ve wished a million times over that I had done myself is when babies are photographed month by month & a sign or a special outfit with a number (to symbolize what month old they are) is used. At the end of 12 months you have an adorable little collage of photos.
Right now Zulily has a sale going on (it only lasts until tomorrow!) from Month 2 Month Baby. They have a ton of Iron-on transfers of differing designs that you can put on babies onesie, shirt, or outfit that are numbered 1 through 12. 1 for each month. They’re so cute! and they have a ton of different iron ons to choose from for both baby girls & baby boys & neutral themes as well. I think I’m partial to the little monkey ones. They go for $13.99 which is a pretty good deal because normally they go for $24 for an entire set. So you save $10. Check out the Zulily Sale but better be quick before the sale is over & don’t forget that Zulily takes a little more time to send out your products so make sure you order them in advance!
If you’re looking for an even easier route Picky Stickyhave tons of month by month STICKERS. Simply stick them on & you’re done, although I’d be a little more apprehensive with stickers once babies get a bit older & can pick them off before you get the perfect shot!
I love these Picky Sticky Robot stickers for little boys! Aren’t they cute! The sticker sets over at Picky Sticky go for $10 to $15 & they even have stickers for older children that don’t include the month.
Of course if you’re already an Amazon Mom or Prime member you can check out all the Stickers on Amazon.com & get free shipping! They start at around $9 and work their way up so you’ll have to search around to find the best deal. These ones from Lucy Darling Shop are adorable too & would help you document even more milestones!
