I took pictures every month with the same background with the same toys for an entire year. In other words, I am a successful mother. I even wrote in my journal every month about everything new Amelia was doing. I'm a hero. Of course, I didn't post all those things on my blog like I was going to try to do, but, oh well.
This exercise was surprisingly difficult for me. I'm not a photographer. I have no skill when it comes to composing a beautiful picture. So why do I love the collage above so much? Because every picture contains my favorite tiny human. And while the above pictures are decent, most of the pictures looked more like...
Oh well.
What I love about the progression of pictures is being able to see how much she has changed. I feel like her features changed a lot in the first 3-4 months and since then she's just gotten bigger. You can also tell that she started crawling around nine months because that's when her face started to thin out (though I think it's filling back in since she eats like crazy.) Since her features have been pretty settled for the past several months, I have started imagining what she will look like as she gets older, which is a lot of fun. What she'll look like as a three year old, or her first day of school, or when she graduates from high school. I have a feeling that she will look like her Aunt Abby when she grows up, and that would please me to no end.
