August is 22 months old. Soon he’ll be two, and I’ll have to stop thinking of him as a baby. (But I will still call him my baby as I pick him up when he awakes, with sleepy eyes and arms outstretched, softly saying “mom”.)
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 took monthly photos of his older sister, Eleanor, until she turned two.

I had another post slated for this morning, but it can wait. I take these pictures for me and for my family because they make me happy. I share them because hopefully they bring a little happiness to you, too.

December 17, 2012 at 11:30 amHappy pictures do help this morning. The blogs I like to read are sending me on a roller coaster ride today. Some are making me feel tearful, worried and angry–and some are igniting the fire of a call to action– and then some are providng moments of being blessedly distracted by something lovely or loving. Yours has provided a welcome respite. Hold those babies tight, Nicole.

December 17, 2012 at 9:02 pmSo beautiful Nicole. Keep posting them. They make me smile too.
I still call my son “baby” even though he is 4 years old. Time flies. It’s lucky we have these photographs to remember how small they once were.

December 18, 2012 at 7:58 amI have always loved that you did this. When my niece had her first child, I sent her a link to your, and now she takes monthly photos of her (now) 26 month old daughter and she will do it again when she has her 2nd in March. Its a wonderful reminder of how precious life is.

December 18, 2012 at 8:16 amIs it me or does the book’s spine directly above August’s head look like a small halo? Nice!
Making it Lovely
December 18, 2012 at 11:54 pmI thought so too! Funny, because that book hasn’t moved, but it never lined up just so for that effect before.
