    Aw, look at how unsure she looks in month 1! Now she’s an old pro – working that pin and Eames rocker.

    Already five months ! She looks adorable.

  6. Oh my how she’s grown. Nicole, you have a lovely daughter and I love the Eames rocker series. Personally, I’d love to see her a photo of Eleanor in the Eames rocker each year until she’s an adult. Wouldn’t it be lovely to see her at 15 sitting on the same chair? I think it’s a spectacular way to chronicle her youth.

    She is adorable as always. I wish I had done this with my boys. My youngest is nearly 2 1/2 and I’d have to cobble it together. This is the best idea ever.

    I KNOW I said I wouldn’t try again for a girl, but….

  8. Wow, where did the month go?! She’s getting so big!

  14. JessicaNo Gravatar says:

    So stinkin cute! And we got a smile in this one :-)

  15. RijaNo Gravatar says:

    Cuter by the minute!!

  16. KerryNo Gravatar says:

    I found your blog when you were pregnant, and your daughter was born just a month before mine. And she’s gorgeous, cuter by the month. I love her little smile there. And I’m wondering if she still sleeps through the night? My daughter’s great sleeping habits spontaneously combusted at about 3 months, and it’s been a rough ride since. I’m not worrying too much about it, however, because any new “habits” I teach, she’ll only grow out of anyway. But is there anything new you’re doing now that she’s older?

    WHAT A SQUISH MUFFIN!

  18. Amber MNo Gravatar says:

    She is BEAUTIFUL! I hope if I have a girl she is as sweet and adorable as she is!

  19. PaulaNo Gravatar says:

    this is simply delightful!

  20. AllisonNo Gravatar says:

    i love these posts. i look forward to them every month. it is such a cool idea to take a picture of eleanor in the same place each time.

  21. MeganNo Gravatar says:

    Oh my goodness! What a cute chunka-lunka of love!

  22. FionaNo Gravatar says:

    It is definitely remarkable seeing how the little one is growing up day by day, month by month. She is totally cute! I love the smile on her fifth month!

  23. CherishNo Gravatar says:

    Cuter and cuter by the second. That’s a great idea!!! I love it. Not enough parents take pictures of their kids, And to have a blog of them, they’re part of you forever.

  24. LeanneNo Gravatar says:

    Wow, how she has grown. Such a cutie! What a cute little grin.

  25. TeeNo Gravatar says:

    Adorable! They grow too quickly.

  26. MelissaNo Gravatar says:

    Wow she is getting so big – such a cutie!

  27. CorieNo Gravatar says:

    Nicole, I can’t believe Eleanor’s already 5 months old! Time goes by TOO fast. She looks beautiful, and it’s clear that motherhood comes just as naturally to you as decorating!

  28. JustinaNo Gravatar says:

    Ohhh, they grow so fast don’t they! Anyway, its a fantastic idea you have there, photographing her in the same chair every month. :) Happy 5 month birthday, Eleanor!

  29. beckyNo Gravatar says:

    Oh. My. Gosh.!!!

    It figures you would have a baby who matches your lovely living room :) She’s so darling!

    Yay, my favorite day of the month! I’m sure you’re already documenting this somewhere else but have you considered highlighting the new developments she makes during the month in these posts? “This past month Eleanor rolled over, held herself up, had her first tooth, said her first word, etc., etc.?” Thought it might be really sweet :) Though I understand these are big events and they might require their own posts altogether!

  31. kristinNo Gravatar says:

    dude! i just realized she’s wearing the cute onesie in each photo. did you get one for each- 1-3m, 3-6m, and so-forth? it’s like a mystery!

  32. NY, NYNo Gravatar says:

    Love the sly little smile in this one, like she knows we’re all going to plotz over her. he he.

  33. KateNo Gravatar says:

    These pictures are great! I was wondering if you have any creative plans for them when one year is complete. I’ve been doing this with my son (who’s now almost ten months!) and I would love to send the photos to family and friends in an interesting format, but I have yet to come up with anything good…ideas?

  34. CrystalNo Gravatar says:

    Adorable!! She’s smiling

  35. RobinNo Gravatar says:

    oh gosh, I never post, but she is SO BEAUTIFUL, I just had to say so. What a lovely expression and I bet you will continue to see this exact expression often in years to come. There she is! Her personality sparkles in this photo!

  36. KellyNo Gravatar says:

    She is absolutely beautiful.

  37. She is adorable and starts to looks after her father! Sweet!

  38. danyelleNo Gravatar says:

    oh, that eleanor. she’s a dolly.

  39. LaurieNo Gravatar says:

    She is about as cute as it gets and I’m a sucker for those chubby little legs!

  40. AmberNo Gravatar says:

    Sheesh! Your daughter totally (like! totally!) looks like you.

    P.S. Your honeycomb printed pillow is cute!

  41. NikkiNo Gravatar says:

    I think she is a spectacular mix of the both of you! She looks simply sprightly.

  42. ColetteNo Gravatar says:

    Soooo cute! My son was born a week after her- so her monthly photo has totally inspired me to do the same thing. Now, if only I had a funky rocker instead of a ratty old sofa covered by an old sheet so that spit-up doesn’t ruin it….

  43. NuitNo Gravatar says:

    Already!!? wow! time really flies! I remember posting about your porch rug once and how great it was that you were able to get it done while VERY pregnant!!! I just love how Eleanor seems to love her monthly photo shoot, she knows the deal now and seems very confortable having her picture taken, so precious Nicole, congrats!

  44. wow I can’t believe I just now found your blog. Absolutely love it. And I wish my mother had done this type of series with me when I was a little girl…will definitely be doing it when I have one. :) :)

    I love her mischevious smile in this – sooo adorable :)

  51. GinaNo Gravatar says:

    Wow, she is such a little doll!! I love your idea of taking her monthly picture in the same Eames chair. You can really see her grow! What do you plan on doing with the photos after she turns two? Are you going to create some sort of photo collage?
