  • 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?

  • Down Pillow

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

  • OMG! Cuteness in an Eames chair!

  • Nicole she looks just like YOU! Too cute!

  • what a beautiful little girl!

  • She is getting so big. If I had children, I would want one just like her. Her eyes are so expressive!

  • Can’t believe it’s been 5 months already….

  • 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. :) :)

  • 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!

  • 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….

  • Nikki

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

  • She is so beautiful!

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

    P.S. Your honeycomb printed pillow is cute!

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

  • oh, that eleanor. she’s a dolly.

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

  • Kelly

    She is absolutely beautiful.

  • 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!

  • Crystal

    Adorable!! She’s smiling

  • 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?

  • NY, NY

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

  • 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!

    • A

      Ha! Yes, I bought the same onesie (from Old Navy) in various sizes. Then I’ll have E in the same dress from 13-24 months. :)

  • Vanessa

    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!

  • Oh. My. Gosh.!!!

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

    becky

  • 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!

  • Corie

    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!

  • Wow she is getting so big – such a cutie!

  • Adorable! They grow too quickly.

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

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

  • 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.

  • this is simply delightful!

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

  • WHAT A SQUISH MUFFIN!

  • 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?

  • Cuter by the minute!!

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

  • Look at that smile! This is such a great idea.

  • She looks more like you now!

  • What a beautiful little girl!!! and that room is lovely too.

  • what a super cutie!! i love her little chubby legs :D

  • Katie M

    Gosh she is cute cute cute! Love those chubby legs! :)

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

  • 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….

  • 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.

  • Eugénie

    Already five months ! She looks adorable.

  • What a sweetheart!!

  • she’s so big! :o

  • Can’t believe she’s already 5 mths! Beautiful little girl :)

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