The second set of monthly pics that I did of Katie Wynn were of her and me on our front steps. They were fun but really hard to pull off since I had to have another person around to take our picture during a time when we were both clean and dressed and it was daylight outside. Tricky when your husband leaves for work at the crack of dawn and we're a hot mess by the time we all get home. So, with Thomas I thought instead of pictures with me, I'd do pictures of him with Katie Wynn. I'd be able to be the photographer so they'd be much easier.

Right?

If you think the answer to that is yes then you've never tried to take pictures of a toddler and a baby in the same chair together. NOT an easy task, I tell ya. But I have a picture for every month so, success! My method for choosing the official picture for each month was to just find the one where they were both somewhat clear and in focus. For nearly every month, I have a picture where he is totally adorable but she's a blurry ghost and vice versa. If only I could cut and paste the good ones of them together.

When I went back to pick out these pictures, I knew that he would look so different in the early months than he does now - babies change a lot in their first year! What I wasn't expecting, though, was how little Katie Wynn looks too! It's crazy to think this time last year she was still attached to a paci. That seems like a lifetime ago. Anyway, here they are...

I chose this chair in the living room for a neutral backdrop and because we get natural light in there. That window behind them usually ended up being way too bright, though. Which month's photo is your favorite? Or, which set of outfits are your favorite? :) I think my favorites are months 8, 9, and 10.

Here's a bonus pic from month eight to end this post. She loves him a little too hard sometimes!
