Oh my, the milestone photos. 

What do you do with them anyway?

Did you take “milestone” photos, with either a prop (blanket, number, etc) or just a photo on the milestone “day” 

On the day or around that day because let's be real does it really matter in the grand scheme of things if I took baby’s photo when they were actually 4 weeks old or if they were 4 weeks + 5 days, the answer is no, it does not.

Here are a few ideas…

Month photos

I took SO many it was ridiculous with our firstborn, I have since gone back and picked the best and deleted the rest - no one needs 58 photos every month with their age in months. 

I landed on using the Batzkids milestone blanket for their photos, although now that I am doing this, I can’t find those photos for baby R…hmm  need to do more of a deep dive

“Milestone” Photos

You could sign up with a photographer to take your child's photos as a newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months + 12-month photos. Yes, I did this too. Give me all the baby photos to remember when they were that little. 

1st Holidays

Here is another idea…take your child’s photo for each of their first holidays.  Again, I used a batzkids** blanket (This gets slightly more difficult when you get to their last couple of holidays). I then put all of their photos in a collage and have them out all year round. 

And last but not least...

You didn't take any "official" photos of their milestones. You can find them, search for the date and pull your favorite from your child during that month or holiday. In the end, enjoying the photos you take is the most important thing about all of this

Did you do this? Do you need help finding these photos? 

**BATZkids is permanently closed, but here is a preliminary search for “milestone blanket”  and 1st holiday milestone search on Etsy.
