As you can see, I decided to take August’s photo in the library. Can you believe he’s one month old already? He weighs eleven and a half pounds now, and is already outgrowing his 0-3 month clothes. I wish he were happier for this, his first picture, but I was losing daylight (so no time to postpone our photo shoot). Oh well — I don’t mind having the occasional crying baby photo.
Happy one-month birthday, little guy!
(I’ll be taking a photo of August sitting in the Eames rocker and wearing his pin each month until he’s two years old. I also take monthly photos of his sister, Eleanor.)

OH MY GOSH!!!!!! I used to read your blog EVERYDAY but life happened and I’ve been on hiatus! The last time I read, I was following your monthly pictures of your baby daughter also patiently waited for her arrival :). Well I check in today because I had some time (daughters on spring break), and I’m wondering who is AUGUST??? LORD you’ve had another baby!!!! Where in the world have I been??? Congratulations!!! I’m so tickled that I missed everything!!! I love your blog and even with two, you are still organized!!!!

I’m so glad you shared your ‘monthly’ photos with all of us. I started a monthly photo when our daughter Bea was born. Thanks for the great idea! BTW, the cryin’ pic is way to cute. Have a happy weekend:)

Lovely! The setting and chair selection turned out great. Can’t wait to watch him grow : )

Such a perfect little bug!
Jen
I love this!
charity
Adorable! Everything is just lovley.

I love the set location of the library! Your photo series (as well as your general design POV) are always inspirational. Darling son and great library. Where did you get those shelves with doors?! They’re perfect for displaying literary treasures, while saving the pages from baby hands.
Ali
Forgot to say the pics of your son was oh so sweet! I have 3 kids: 7,4,2 and I well remember those sweet fussy moments of a 1 month old! Great documentation of your cute little man! Love the library backdrop / location! So cool!

I love your design style! I just peeked through your house tour and I was so impressed! But, my husband and I are those home owners that fear adding color and pattern. I desperately want / need to add color and pattern to my home! Thanks for the inspiration! I love how you piece modern and tradition and whimsical into your home! Amazing! I even love all the little details like those cute colorful mini suitcases in your office / studio storage unit. Your house seems HUGE! So many rooms! Love it!

Super cute!! I’m curious to ask, do you make their pin and buy the same onesie for each photo?
Sasha
Wow, how time flies. I LOVE that you chose the library! Crying or not, he is simply adorable. Congrats again and thanks for sharing. It gives those of us without kiddos the chance to “ooow and awww” over baby cuteness. =)

Can’t believe it’s already been a month, happy day little guy! Love the pic even if he is crying!
luuvely
i agree with EVERYone! this is suuuch a wonderful idea to carry the chair up there every single month! he will love you for it (well when he is about 30 lol)…like another poster said..its very manly :)
yeeeah august! happy one month birthday!!
jen {das sushi}
I really like the setting. So perfect! And I love the occasional crying baby shot – it’s what they were doing! Pictures of actual life are so much better than pretend perfection.
Amanda
I’m so glad you decided to take the photo in the library. So manly, and different. :)
Also, I can’t believe it’s been a month, wow!
ANNNND I love that ampersand! Swooon.
Kris Mays
Already? Wow. Time flies by!
Nowelle
This is a cute photo and the library section is soo cute. I love how you dd it.
Rebecca @ beautiful square feet
I love the set up here. I think it’s lovely that both of them are being photographed in the same chair. Really looking forward to seeing how he changes over the next couple of years!
Kasey
I love that corner bookcase! I really like the glass doors so you can see all the colorful books inside! =)
Rebecca
Aww, too much cuteness in that picture!
Christie
So cute & so little!
I love the library! Looks so great. What are those yellow flowers in the vase?
Leslie
Congratulations! He looks so sweet. I loved seeing the series you did like this of your daughter. Amazing! I bet you didn’t realize how busy life can get with two? My goodness I remember those days at the beginning! Precious and crazy times!!!

How is it a month already? Happy day, wee one.

Amanda
Poor little guy! I hope you can catch and happy face next time! (I love the Eames rocker in the library!)
April
What a sweet little guy! I still think the name is fabulous too!
Erika
Awe; he is still a handsome little baby, even if not very happy.
Arlena
I think this is a beautiful spot for August’s monthly photo! I can’t believe it has been one month already~next thing we know he will be reading one of those books..:)
Jordan@the2seasons
What a cute picture I love that it is a true action shot.
Nelle
Love the new setting, totally worth dragging that chair up every time! :)
TDM
awww that’s just too cute
Anna
Hey,
I am writing to confess my wrongdoing. I found your blog (specifically a post about your kitchen, with the beautiful yellow floral curtain at the window) a while back and saved the pictures of that curtain because I was determined to copy you. Now I have made my copy of that curtain and to properly blog about it, I put up the pictures of yours – to show what I was inspired by and going for. I linked to that post, but realized (it’s been coming to me all day) that I really should have asked your permission before putting up YOUR pictures on MY blog. If you would like to see the exact post, the link is below. If it matters to you, I have 11 followers and (I would guess) an optimistic maximum of 30 people that commonly read my blog. If you would like me to take the pictures down, I will absolutely do that with no question, just email me or comment on the blog. Thank you, and I’m sorry for doing this out of order!

P.S. Thanks for posting the lovely work you did in your kitchen! It looks great.
Jenae
He’s so precious & tiny! :)
Katie
I can’t get over the fact that he’s a month old! If ever there was a time that time should slow down….. He’s perfect!
Sonja
I love the photo! I like how you used the same chair for both kids. Beautiful babies make me smile!
misshotcakes
I can’t believe it’s been a month already.
my goodness.
sloppyart
Yay! Love the crying August (with the Vase–only ‘weapon-like’ thing available) in the Library. He’ll seem even smaller one day for being inconsolable when the photo was snapped.
Shannon
Sooooo cute.
Wasn’t Eleanor a little fussy in her first picture, also?
Caroline @ The Feminist Housewife
I love the library setting. It’s perfect (and I think you will be happy that you went to the extra effort!)
He is getting so big, a month has gone by so quickly!
mandy
i love how it’s a much more ‘masculine’ setting.
it was worth the move.
if i ever have kids i’m soooo stealing this idea.
Noni
*sniff* He’s a darling!
Quick question: Do you find that there is significantly less dusting to do with the glass cabinet doors on your bookcases? We have ones identical to yours and there is an unbelievable amount of dust that I have to remove weekly.
Making it Lovely
There’s NO dusting! Occasional glass cleaning, but that’s much more manageable.
Jessica Howard
He is so adorable!
Kylie
Oh perfect! So worth taking the Eames chair up the stairs! He looks adorable, and I love seeing more pictures of your library.
Audrie
Awww one month already!!! I love how the backdrop of August’s monthly pics is decidedly boyish while Eleanor’s is so very girly :)
Emmmylizzzy
I’m so glad you decided to use the chair again! Really ties the shots together. And my little one was crying for her one month picture as well, but I like it – an accurate account of how what those early days were really like!
LeeAnn
Your whole idea of monthly photos set up this way is so well executed. I love the range of expressions Eleanor has had with all her photos, and this one will be no different!
kristin
stellar shot. love the location for your cutie. – makes for good story, not every day is a happy, happy day (well, i mean every moment!)
liz
Oh my gosh! congratulations! Somehow I completely missed that you had the baby. Where have I been? Anyway, love the name and congrats to you.
Kathy
Oh man, he looks so much smaller than Eleanor did! I love that you put him in the library too. Gorgeous!
Cherie
Already one month; doesn’t time steadily slip through our
fingers? While you’re at it, document the two sweeties
together each month. Destined to be best friends. Life is good.
Beth-Anne Jones from 4mothers1blog
Holy bookshelf porn! I am drooling!!! (very cute babe too!)
Claudia
wow, the Eames chair, so awesome!
Catherine
You are crazy to move all that furniture every month! He is so adorable though-even crying! Congrats again!!
Sarah
It’s wonderful! So cute!
captain kk
classic! i like the change of scenery too.. much more masculine for little august.
Beth
Aw, take it easy little dude. Hope the next one is happier! Nevertheless, I love your posts of the kiddos. Can’t wait to see him a few months from now. Eleanor’s photos show so much growth in personality, not just physical size! Can’t wait to see more of August. <3
liz @ btb
Oh goodness. He is just so teeny in that chair. Congrats again Mama, you have a super cute little dude.
