Dakota helped decorate the shirt this time. 🙂 Past years:
Mal: One Year Old!
And now to execute my new master plan of keeping the kid progress photos going entirely on my phone. No more fancy camera and downloading and editing on my computer and all that jazz. So here we are! Of course the photo was taken 3 weeks late and it’s been several more months since then, but whatever! Keep the dream alive! 🙂
Mal’s Monthly Photos Combined
I went back through Mal’s photos and redid the cropping so that they were all the same size. It was much easier compared to Dakota’s since the background blanket had a repeating pattern on it. If I ever do this again I’m just going to throw a yardstick in the photos, that’ll make it super simple. 🙂
Here’s Dakota’s:
And here’s Mal’s 1 month and 12 month next to each other. Spoiler alert: He got bigger!!
Mal: Twelve Months Old
Woo-hoo I managed all 12 months! This last one was actually taken just 3 days late, but then it took me another 3 months to get it off my camera. Sigh.
(previous even months)
Mal: Eleven Months Old
Hurray! This pic was only 6 days late. I might even be on a trajectory of taking his 1 year photo on is actual birthday! (Ha. Ha. Suuuurreee.)
(Previous odd months)
Mal: Ten Months Old
Almost caught up. Here’s Mal at “10 months” (Taken on 12/21, so 19 days late. Still got it done though!):

(Here’s the link for Dakota at 10 months.)
Mal: Nine Months Old
Still playing catch-up. Here he is at 9 months (taken on 11/18, so 16 days late, yeesh):
(Previous odd months)
Mal: Eight Months Old
Oh dear I’ve fallen behind. I did manage to get a photo every month… some were a bit late, but still every month… but I’m way behind in posting. So I’ll just take care of that really quick now before Mal turns 1. Here he is at 8 months (taken on 10/9, so a “mere” 7 days late, lol):
(Previous even months)
Mal: Seven Months Old
For the record I actually took this photo on 9/9, so it’s only a week late.
I didn’t really get a “perfect” (read: baby more or less centered, in focus, number visible) shot this month, especially since my bestickered “helper” Dakota was in almost every shot. But I had a lot of charmingly imperfect shots to chose from, and this one came pretty close:
And here are the rest of the odd numbered months:
