August is trying, with his hand, to show us that he’s three! (Three is the trickiest number to show with your fingers, you know.)
I took monthly photos of Eleanor until she turned two, and then switched to yearly pictures. Now I’m doing the same for August. New house, new setting, new messy-hair haircut (I tried to comb it), same awesome kid, same chair. August finished up his monthly photos on his birthday last year, so now we’re on to yearly shots!
I love having these to look back on.

I love that you do these. So fun to see them growing up.

NONONONONONO. How can your baby possibly be THREE? Man, I’ve been following you since the apartment….and I really resent that your kids are growing up. (My kids are a few months younger than your kids, so I’m really talking about how my kids are growing up.) Anyway, thanks for the update…he’s adorable.

You’ll treasure these pictures for so many years to come. They are only little once. I have pictures of my boys in front of the same front door on the first day of school from Kindergarten till college. I love seeing them as they grew.

How is he so big already? Too cute!
As for three, I don’t know why Americans (including me) use the method we do, but if you use the European method which is the thumb and the first two fingers, it’s much easier — especially for little ones. :)

Cutie! Show him the American Sign Language sign for three- much easier! Happy Birthday buddy!

Gorgeous beautiful kiddos!! Just love how you photograph them Nicole. So nice. My great nephew will be 3 in July. What a dolly face. He has a new baby sister who is absolutely beautiful. Such a blessing to have healthy, smart and lovely children.

So cute! Thanks for sharing :) Have you tried to get him to show he’s three by putting his pointer finger and thumb together (making an O) and holding up his middle, ring, and pinky fingers? I know that’s easier for some little ones.

Yep, we tried! Eleanor wanted to show him a whole bunch of ways to do it though, and I think she confused him. He was looking so cute and smiley with his whole hand up anyway. :)

And now my husband is a fan of yours because I showed the star wars birthday pictures. He says you’re raising your kids right <3

P.S. Could you do one of both of them-showing their differing sizes and height and mutual darlingness? Maybe back to back with Eleanor measuring

I kid you not-He has to be the most adorable boy child on the planet-Eleanor is of course the most charming and adorable girl.

A mighty cute guy! Happy Birthday August!

I can’t wait to have kids just so I can take these pictures. Such a cute idea! I love it!
Giulia
So cute. This also reminds me of how long I’ve been following along. You were pregnant with him when I first found your blog.
Laurie
What a cute picture! I love the hair.
I also, love the Darth Vadar on the end table. That made my heart sing a little.

I feel really old, I can’t believe he’s already 3! I’ve been reading since before Eleanor was born. Time flies!!!
Erin
Happy Birthday, August!
My oldest turns three tomorrow. Isn’t it crazy how time flies?!
Sarah
What a little cutie. Happy Birthday, August! Did he refuse the shirt pin this year?
Katie
Love this. We are having our first in June and I want to try and do something similar.

Couldn’t be a cuter kid.
