I loved Baby S's update! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165557 Tue, 22 May 2012 17:53:23 +0000 regberadaisy 165557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ILs got baby a rocking chair that they personalized so she'll be sitting in that. I love having a constant object in the picture so you can really see how they grow!<br /> I plan to put her in a pretty outfit. I also will be using Melissa &amp; Doug wooden blocks to spell her name and what month. My cousin in law also got her stickie bellies!</p> <p>Can't wait for her first month pic on Monday! I did one when she was 1 week as well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165417 Tue, 22 May 2012 14:35:55 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 165417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have baby S in the same Carter's sleeper with a stuffed elephant each month. I bought all the sizes of the sleeper and swap them out when he gets too big. </p> <p>I wish I had started taking the photos in his nursery instead of the living room because the light is better there. In my exhaustion I didn't think of it when he was a month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165415 Tue, 22 May 2012 14:33:00 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 165415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I don't know what her deal was. Super easy to order, and she wouldn't have to wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165254 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:57:41 +0000 chopsuey 165254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't! Sometimes I wish I had, but we have so many pictures and videos of the baby.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165248 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:52:46 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 165248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As for ideas for monthly pics. </p> <p>- onesie (numbered)<br /> - numbered blocks<br /> - having a stuffed animal next to baby<br /> - Balloons<br /> - baby in a laundry basket<br /> - Cupcakes (though come 12 months... you will have eaten 78 cupcakes!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165246 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:49:43 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 165246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: luckily my mom was a camera pimp. She took pictures of us (even if she was intense) we (my sister and I) both had 2 big albums filled with pics from 0-3 years. I unfortunately can't find one. I'm hoping they are in a box somewhere in my basement. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165245 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:48:41 +0000 Boogs 165245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cat in the Cradle: That's a super cute idea! Too bad about that lady, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165243 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:47:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 165243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: any pictures are better than no pictures! I think it's sad that photography was lost in the 80's when I was a baby. I don't have hardly any pictures of myself as a baby! That's definitely a blessing for this new generation of babies - there will be millions of pictures!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165231 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:39:40 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 165231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did up to 9 months with Mavrick, and if my camera wasn't broken, I would do the same with Sienna. Unfortunately we don't have the budget to buy a camera. I don't think my iPhone is great enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165229 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:38:25 +0000 Mrs. Bee 165229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no it was too much work even with just one. but i did do a photo session every month. if i ever get around to making a book of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165216 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:27:26 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 165216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I worked at a bakery a woman would come in and get a half dozen cupcakes with her son's name and the number of months. It would have been cute, except she would never order any in advance and expect us all to drop what we're doing to accomodate her. :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165198 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:16:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 165198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking both the monthly sticker idea, and then do the "big" onsie quartely and make a collage out of it to hang on the wall. I think that would be cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165129 Tue, 22 May 2012 09:47:21 +0000 lavender 165129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the white onesie with the monthly stickers ( she has a cupcake theme)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165056 Tue, 22 May 2012 08:29:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 165056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: sooo cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165041 Tue, 22 May 2012 07:50:42 +0000 mediagirl 165041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Yeah, I think I would use a 12 month one...like this picture: <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/28569778856033190/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/28569778856033190/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165031 Tue, 22 May 2012 07:38:07 +0000 sorrycharlie 165031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: how cute!!

Mine will be 3 months on Saturday too! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165016 Tue, 22 May 2012 07:22:39 +0000 mediagirl 165016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the pictures where you see the lo wearing the same sleeper (not footed sleeper) for 12 months. At the beginning, they're swimming in it. At the end, they've busted out. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165011 Tue, 22 May 2012 07:12:14 +0000 heffalump 165011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I wish I would have. I take pictures daily so I have plenty, but I'd still like the ones showing how old she is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-165000 Tue, 22 May 2012 06:16:15 +0000 Rubies 165000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just do the onesie stickers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-164974 Mon, 21 May 2012 23:49:08 +0000 Boogs 164974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did the white onesie with a monthly sticker and ours was in the shape of a tie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-164972 Mon, 21 May 2012 23:45:00 +0000 Sweet T 164972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS wears a white onesie with the appropriate month's sticker. I sit him in the rocker in his room and take a bunch of pictures so I have options. Most recently, I took his 8 month pictures and he is so fast and squirmy now! I worked up a sweat! Sometimes, I give him a toy to distract him for a few pictures but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-something-special-for-los-monthly-pictures#post-164967 Mon, 21 May 2012 23:28:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 164967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had wanted to, I'd seen so many cute things on pinterest while I was pregnant, but never jumped the gun and planned what I'd do.<br /> He is 3 months old tomorrow! </p> <p>I still take pictures each month though. </p>
