I posted about these month by month photos here.  I'd seen it done and always wished I'd done it with Genevieve.  It's nice to be able to have a re-do in with baby #2!   

I created these collages in picmonkey.  I did a few different types/layouts...this is the close ups one.  I didn't go through 12 tiring and stressful photoshoots to share one tiny picture. uh uh.  

I love the full body shots that show just how much she grew over the course of a year...from barely filling a corner of the rocker to taking over the whole darn thing.  Another thing I love? That I can look at these and see her various phases.  Phase 1- colicky and not so smiley. Phase 2- getting happier! Phase 3- trying to sit up and getting personality. Phase 4- needed props and nearly fell of the chair.  Phase 5- big girl, happy, mobile, and such a ham.

And here area  few of my faves that didn't make the collage...but show her little personality:

leggy like mama.

You wanna step to this?

this is how she sucks her thumb.

Ok, not the best shot but she was dancing as Genevieve and I sang happy birthday!  Too cute!

I miss those gummy grins already.
