    Two Months Old (August’s Monthly Photo)


    (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.)

    This is my favorite way to dress babies when they’re still so little. Classic union suits and fun patterned socks.

    August’s outfit is vintage, and his socks were a gift from sweet Yvonne all the way from the Netherlands.

    One Month Old (August’s Monthly Photo)

    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!

  • An Update on the Lack of Updates

    An Update on the Lack of Updates

    The basement still isn’t done. STILL.

    No, you haven’t missed August’s nursery (many people have been asking). Eleanor is still in the nursery until we can convert my studio into her bedroom, and the studio needs to be moved into the basement for that to happen.

    The bathroom is nearing completion, and the laundry room is nearing what I’ve begun thinking of as the 1.0 version.

    Also, sleep? We could all use a little more. August is somewhat nocturnal. He’s a sweetie though, so we forgive him.

  • Planning August’s Monthly Photos

    Planning August’s Monthly Photos

    I took a photo of August in Eleanor’s usual spot yesterday.

    I’m going to start photographing him monthly too, but I’m considering a change of location. I think that the library would make a good backdrop, yes?

    The Library

    I don’t know if I should prop him up in the white chair that’s already up there, or if I should bring the Eames rocker up for each photo. I think it could be cool to have him in the same chair to connect his photos to his sister’s, but I also think it’s going to be a total pain to have to set it up every month. Sigh.

    C’est la vie de l’overachiever.

    The 4-6 Weeks Project (The End)

    I took a photograph of Eleanor each day until the new baby arrived, to document our last 4-6 weeks as a family of three.

    You and mama were napping together in your room when mama’s water broke suddenly! She quietly got up, moved you into your crib, and then called daddy to take her to the hospital to have the baby. Your little brother, August Ray, was born less than three hours later.
