i feel like i have failed at my very first important mom task, The Monthly Photo.  you've seen them on blogs, on facebook- the ones in the glider, baby wearing a number-emblazoned onesie.  or, next to a giant stuffed animal for scale.

you see, adelaide's one month birthday came (can we even call it that? a monthly birthday? i feel like i'm back in high school celebrating my eight week anniversary.) and i was unprepared.  i had no MONTH ONE onesie to photograph her in.  i had no giant stuffed animal to sit her next to.  and i certainly don't have the photoshop skills to take care of these things electronically.

should i run to the store?  cobble together something from my box of craft supplies?  google a photoshop tutorial??

in the end i did none of these things.  i probably took a nap instead.  but!  i also took this picture.

baby's first sweatfit!

 

there's a glider, so we've got that.  but her hands are covering half her face.  and it was literally the only photo that came out in focus.  oh and another thing?  it was actually taken the day before her one month birthday (i seriously feel ridiculous calling it that).  the horror!  realizing this, i had plenty of time to run to the store, craft a onesie and go through a few photoshop tutorials.

except i didn't.  i probably took another nap.  and decided this was good enough.

i'll do better next month, adelaide.

sorry blogging is so sporadic!  it's not because i'm omgsobusy but rather, i have nothing to blog about.  i am a slave to a tiny, needy, loud (but SUPERCUTE) baby and that's just not that interesting. i'm over on twitter (@oliveourhouse) and instagram (you guessed it! oliveourhouse) much more often, oversharing photos of my baby. and sometimes my dog. but never my cat.
