During Kate’s first year we snapped monthly photos of her next to her teddy bear to compare her growth. I wouldn’t exactly say that Kate always loved these little photo sessions (most obviously noted in her 7 month pic), but I certainly love lining them all up and seeing how she’s changed!

Kate: 12 Months “How big is Kate? Sooooo big!” |













Love seeing how much she’s grown, the adorable little heartbreaker!
She’s adorable! You should be very proud of your little trooper.
What happened to the bear’s ribbon though? lol!
So cute! I love looking at photos of babes and their growth. It is amazing how much they change in just one year!
What awesome keepsakes. Love the last one, especially!
Thanks ladies!
@Courtney–I took the neck-tie off once Kate got more interested in playing with her bear so it wouldn’t get wrecked, and b/c I was worried it was a strangulation hazzard. You know those crazy thoughts that keep you up at night? Yep, that was one of them!
What an awesome idea! She is absolutely beautiful!
Well, she hated taking the 7 month picture, but certainly made up for it with an abundance of joy in the 8 month pic! What a cutie.
So cute! Love the progression of her holding her head up and being such a big girl! Great series!
I cannot even believe she is already 1!!! What a cutie!
Such a cutie! Great photos
Hey I follow your blog and have since the beginning and hardly ever comment but how could I resist with such a cute post. I love love love seeing Kate’s little pictures lined up like that. She is beautiful and I think motherhood agrees with you so much. I love the one year pic the most.
I love this! Kate is such a little lady and can’t wait to see more!
Ha ha, it looks like Kate’s Crazy Hair was peaking between months 10 and 11. What a cutie.
