Before I was even pregnant with James, Jimmy and I bought him his first toy- an adorable big-legged giraffe from the MGM gift shop in Las Vegas. I thought it was so cute and would be good to have something “baby” in the house pre-baby.
I started photographing James with the giraffe when he was 2 months old, but missed months 3 and 8 (oops!) It’s so funny to see the progression of him just sitting like a lump next to the giraffe at first and then take more interest in it. The giraffe started out much larger than James, but he quickly caught up! James’ shoulders didn’t even come up to the armrest of the chair at first, and nine months later, he’s got his arm slung casually over it!
At month 5 and 6, James was tackling the giraffe, then at month 7, he wanted to crawl out of the chair. By month 9, I could barely get him to sit still and at month 11, he was only interested in his book! The last picture I took, he was slinging the giraffe all around and almost fell out of the chair because he was climbing all over!

How cute! I love that you took a picture of him (almost) every month with the giraffe! What a lovely idea!
So cute! He's growing up! I loved your design board over at simplified bee!

I KNOW IT IS NOT A CONTEST BUT…I VOTE FOR PIC 9 MONTHS! HOLY MOLY HE IS SUCH A CUTIE. YOU HAVE TO BLOW 9 MO PIC UP ON A CANVAS.
Absolutely adorable!! Your son is too cute 🙂
oh my goodness that is so incredibly cute! I want to take pictures like that when I have kids someday! 🙂
I love the pictures with the giraffe! I have three boys (and one child on the way), and I haven't done this series with any of them. I take lots of pictures and their lives are documented to the nth degree, but I haven't done this particular thing. Maybe with the new baby!
so sweet! He is getting so big.
That is so sweet. It reminds me of Making It Lovely's chair pics…
I did it with Moose on his bean bag,but Monkey? yeah, second child syndrome rears its head…
He is just too cute!! I love the 9 month picture…it looks like he's just chillin' out, telling jokes with his giraffe. Absolutely precious!
What a little cutie James is!!! Love the idea of taking pics every month with the giraffe to show his growth!!
Thanks so much!!

Such adorabel pictures! It's fun to see how he's grown each month. What a doll he is! I enjoyed seeing what you did with the upholstered bench over at Simplified Bee. Very pretty, Megan!
Such a great idea. I love how his personality starts showing through over the months.
Sooo cute, and funny. I did the same thing with lilly's favorie doll, but forgot 2 months too 🙂
What a lovely idea! I wish I had done this for my daughter, Payton! (21 months currently)I had her picture taken every month, but not with the same "lovey"! So smart you are! 🙂
p.s. love your design for the bench on Simplified Bee's!
Oh my goodness, he is SUCH a doll! I can't believe he's one! I can't wait to hear about his birthday party. 🙂
I just found your blog and wanted to say hello and let you know that I am your newest follower! 🙂 Love your blog! Erin
