Monthly Pictures - Month 3

So here we are, a month later and a bunch bigger! I decided to capitalize on the sitting up skill E has learned over the past month and pose him in this adorable rocker that used to be my Mom's. We had our first doctor's appointment this month and he was 13 pounds 10 ounces and 24 1/4 inches long. Getting so big!

Little E's Monthly Pictures

So I have to play catch-up on these, since Little E is almost 3 months old already. 

I've been doing monthly pictures for E. Pinterest is a wealth of ideas for monthly pictures. A wealth, I tell you. If you can think of it, it's been done and is pinned on Pinterest. Originally I had thought that I was going to do the onesie sticker idea where you get a giant sticker for each month that you stick on the front of a onesie and then you take a picture with it. I went on the hunt for onesie stickers and decided that I didn't like any of them. Nothing against them, I just couldn't find the one that I wanted for the price that I was willing to pay. 

I still hadn't found something that I really liked even after E was born, and the 1 month mark was approaching fast. I really liked the idea of using a chalkboard, but didn't have a chalkboard and wasn't sure where you could buy one for a decent price. I was talking to my Mom about my predicament and all the different options I was thinking of and explaining to her how I was going to have to search for a cheap chalkboard when she remembered that she had a chalkboard in the attic. The thing that made the chalkboard absolutely perfect was that it was made by my uncle that E is named after. Uncle Tadd died in a diving accident when he was young, and I was never able to meet him, so Alex and I thought we would let his memory live on through E since he was the first boy on my Mom's side since Uncle Tadd. It only made sense that we use his chalkboard. 

Mom and I got a white sheet from Walmart, dug out the chalkboard and voila! 

Monthly pictures = done. 

Eventually I'll make a book out of the pictures with things that stand out in E's development for that month next to the pictures. 

Love it!
