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!!

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.

Almost caught up. Here’s Mal at “10 months” (Taken on 12/21, so 19 days late. Still got it done though!):

Still playing catch-up. Here he is at 9 months (taken on 11/18, so 16 days late, yeesh):

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):

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:

(And here’s a link to Dakota’s 7 month picture.)

Sigh. I’m a whole week late on this one. Noooo I’m slipping!!

(Here’s a link to Dakota’s 5 month photo.)

Whoops, this one’s a little late. I was only a day late taking the actual picture though, so I’m still giving myself full credit. 🙂 I haven’t yet managed the combo of smiling/looking at the camera/in focus for the monthly photo, but I’m getting close.

Here’s Dakota at 4 months.
