1 Year = 12 Adorable Months

I will admit, monthly baby photos was the first idea I gleaned from Pinterest back when I was on bedrest last Spring. It seemed like the perfect way to a) make sure I was taking at least one photo of our babies each month (ha!) and b) capture their unique milestones that would undoubtably take place during the first year.

What I didn't realize is that documenting monthly photos would a) require a staff of 15 photo assistants to wrangle babies into position and b) force my husband and I to learn to stand on our heads while making funny faces and calling out our dear babies' names in hopes that they might just happen to look at the camera at the same time and smile.

While it was my goal to have Aaron on the left and Owen on the right in each photo, there were certain months where the stars just didn't align and Owen was on the left, and by the time I realized it, a major meltdown was about to occur, so the photo shoot was over and on the left he stayed.
