Not only did I take photos outside with Baby K each month, but I also took photos of her on a rocking chair from my childhood, with a quilt her great-grandma made her. I didn’t want to post both each month, but I’ve collected them all here for you to see. The lighting wasn’t always the best, and sometimes she was grumpy, but I love seeing how she has grown. Month 8 is my favorite! Be sure to check out Part I if you missed it.
Better late than never, right? Two weeks after Lil’ Miss K’s first birthday, I’ve finally gotten around to putting together a photo collage of her monthly photos. Part I is the photos I posted online each month. (It may take a few moments to load.) Part II is a set of unpublished photos, never seen on the blog before. The suspense must be killing you, I know! Stay tuned…
I couldn’t help but get a little sentimental today, thinking about each part of this day exactly one year ago. From the (gratefully) quick labor, to holding her in my arms for the first time, to that first night (of many) with almost no sleep. Then I think about how far we’ve come this past year, and where we’re heading. It seems like each age gets more fun, yet there are always challenges. There may have even been a sleepless night or two when I swore I would never have another kid. Luckily things always look brighter in the morning. This poor girl has been to the doctor close to 20 times with reflux, milk allergies, a broken bone, and normal baby sicknesses.
But the good absolutely outweighs all of that. She still loves to snuggle and fall asleep in our arms. She’s awesome at going for stroller rides when we jog. She kind of likes to play with her ball, her piano, and a handful of other toys. She really likes to play with boxes, paper, coasters, and cell phones. Most of all, she likes to play with Daddy. She’s known for being the smallest baby with the biggest appetite…her favorite foods being bananas and bread (though she’ll eat most anything). Though we don’t understand a lot of what she says yet, she loves to talk.
I can’t wait for what the future holds. I wonder what her interests will be, what she’ll look like, what she’ll sound like. Not that any of those things matter – I couldn’t love her more if I tried. Happy birthday, baby!
(Check out her 11-month photo here. More first birthday photos to come.)
It’s hard for me to see how much Baby K grows until I look at these photos. Her face has definitely changed since last month! (Click to see her 10-month photo.)
Dear Time,
Could you please slow down? I’m afraid next time I blink Baby K will be a teen.
Take a look at last month’s photo to see how she’s changed. The smiles are getting better and better each month!
(Note: it was warmer December 15 than November 15!)
Baby K is three-quarters of a year old today! This was her first monthly photo in the snow. 🙂 She had a great play date today with my best high school friend’s baby – who has the exact same birthday! I can’t wait to go through those adorable photos.
See how she’s changed since last month.
Baby K is eight months old today! Check out how much she’s changed since last month.
Oh, and we’re wearing blue to support the ROYALS! They made it to the World Series the year I was born and the year my baby was born. Historic!
Again, it’s hard to believe another month has passed. She just moved to a new room at daycare where they have scheduled nap times, so she’s sleeping a little less than normal. Since she was tired, she was pretty grouchy for this pictures – no smiles this month.

Looking back at Baby K’s monthly photos, I think she may have had a growth spurt in the last few weeks. Here’s our monthly photo together. I think this was shot #23 … I look goofy, but at least she’s smiling!
Baby K turned four months old today! Four months still sounded young to me … until I realized she was 1/3 of the way to her first birthday. Oh my, they grow fast. Click here to see how she’s changed month-to-month.
