Happy first birthday, Eleanor!
(I’ll be taking a photo of Eleanor sitting in the Eames rocker and wearing her pin each month until she’s two years old.)

I remember reading what seems like yesterday and thinking that baby must be due soon, and then the post when she was born.
HIPPY BDAY ELEANOR : )

April 29, 2010 at 7:13 pmTime passes so very quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was reading about Eleanor’s birth (and about the porch you painted at 9 months pregnant)! Happy Birthday to the little one!
Sarah Sarniak
April 29, 2010 at 7:13 pmI have to say, this is such a great idea. It makes it easier to see her growth with it being the same background. Very cool. She’s beautiful.

Sherry

Bridget
April 30, 2010 at 10:14 amI feel like you should continue this every month til she graduates from high school…it’s just such a cute idea!
Caitlin
April 30, 2010 at 10:20 amHappy birthday Eleanor! I have twin boys who are about a month older, but we had the same due date of April 20. I remember when you announced your pregnancy, and it’s been fun going through all the stages with you guys! Somehow I can’t believe Eleanore is already one, it makes this last year seem much shorter than it felt, if you know what I mean. Anyhow, congratulations, and I look forward to experiencing toddlerhood with you!

Jennae @ Green Your Decor
April 30, 2010 at 1:39 pmAwww! I know we’ve been seeing her every month, but this is the first time my reaction was “Look how big she’s gotten!” Really, she has. She looks so grown up! Happy Birthday Eleanor!

Katy R
April 30, 2010 at 8:51 pmhow can she possibly be a year old already?! I have been reading your blog since before she was born, I remember the very first chair picture when it was posted… it can’t possibly have been a year already! time certainly flies!
happy birthday!!

Chava
May 2, 2010 at 2:20 pmHappy Birthday beautiful Eleanor!
Wow, she has changed *a lot* in the last month. She has more… defining(?) features now. Maybe it’s just the expression she’s making. Thanks for sharing this project with us. It’s going to be such a treasure for your family! I can’t wait to see how she develops over the next twelve pics.
Kalee
May 4, 2010 at 9:12 amI have absolutely loved these photos since the beginning (I might even call my husband over and make him look every single time)! Hope Eleanor had a phenomenal first birthday!
sarah
May 4, 2010 at 8:13 pmLook how much she has grown! Too cute…. I totally plan on stealing this idea when I have kids. Congrats Nicole for your first year as a Mom!!!!
Ang
May 5, 2010 at 1:16 pmThis is the cutest idea! Thanks for sharing. Completely inspiring… she is adorable! Do you have that pink onsie in every size, or do you make them?
patricia
May 6, 2010 at 8:25 amSo cute as always! Happy belated birthday to your little one.
Rabia
May 6, 2010 at 8:56 amJust started reading your blog about a week ago, and it is wonderful! Definitely making note of things I’d like to do once I (we, rather – avec future hubby) have a place.
A very happy birthday to little Eleanor – she is totally adorable!

May 6, 2010 at 2:18 pmWhat a cutie! And what a fantastic idea!

May 7, 2010 at 9:55 pmHappy Birthday to your sweet Eleanor! I love the pictures, they grow so fast. Our little one just turned 4! We have a little photo album that was given to us that holds one picture for each year. The idea is to have the baby wear the same outfit with meaning for each year. We put her in my wedding dress…it will be cool when she is standing there in it. Now she sits on the couch with the dress draping down.
Hopeless Chest
May 9, 2010 at 2:01 pmAdorable! So neat how her hair went blond.
Danielle
May 18, 2010 at 4:11 pmSee what happens when I don’t visit for awhile!!! She’s such a big girl and full of personality. You can tell from the picture. Happy 1st sweetie!!!

August 31, 2010 at 8:24 pmWould make a brilliant book! You should continue to photograph her in that same chair yearly! till she leaves home! and publish it in a book in the end…could even have her child in the same chair one day!
