I love the idea of having a stuffed animal. We take pictures every month of my son in a 12 month onesie to see how he grows into it. I also have my husbands old high school football jersey that I’ll use on each birthday.

I love this idea! I had read about doing this long ago and just plain forgot. Now my kids are 6 & almost 4. I guess it’s still not too late to start!

We did this with our daughter every week for the first year and we are on to monthly for year two. We took the pics with a stuffed animal which traveled with us so we wouldn’t miss a week. I also got a bit obsessive about never having more than one photo per outfit…she’s our first so it was a great way to show off all the great clothing gifts we got!

For her first birthday my graphic designer hubby (who has access to a large format printer) made a poster of all 52 pics – it’s priceless!

Here are the year one shots:

We did this with our twin boys, Nate and Alex. We kept all the bad photos as well as the good ones, and each month the photo shoot got more hilarious to us.

As there were so many that we loved, rather than put together a Tabblo, I put together a video montage:

My sister is pregnant with her third and I have motivated her to do this activity with all 3 of her kids in the same chair every month.

We too did this every month for a year – same chair, same stuffef animal. Then we had it framed and it is now hanging in her room. I am going to continue to do this every year now.

I started taking the stuffed animal + big chair pics after reading it on your site. I have my cousin doing it too. It’s awesome to see the growth over the months.

We do this with both our kids – same chair, same stuffed animal. For the older one, I did it every month until he turned 2, now I’m doing it every 3 months. It’s amazing to put them all together and see how they’ve grown.

It’s also fun to compare the baby (now 7 months) with his brother’s picture at the same age!
