Every month we attempt to take a few shots of Isaac to capture the important milestones especially for his first year. I love the monthly milestone stickers that I got from Etsty.com. When we first started taking these pictures, the task was fairly simple considering Isaac wasn't mobile and had no interest in the sticker placed on his chest. Once he became mobile....a different story entirely! His 6 month photos were the most difficult to capture since this was a stage when he was keenly aware of logos and graphics on his clothes. He would pull his shirts out and drop his head trying to get a better look. Subsequently each passing month has been a challenge. As soon as the sticker was placed on his chest he would immediately begin pulling at it, trying to pull it off, scrunching it up to assess the noise and texture factor....among any other creative element he could experiment with. This month though....oh....mama wised up. I had already assessed the set up for these fabulous pictures to take place....complete with a dry run. I also made sure there were plenty of toys near by. As soon as I placed the sticker on his chest...I immediately picked up and started dancing him around and then we played with a couple of his favorite toys. It was perfect! He was immediately distracted and after a few moments he had completely forgotten about the sticker! It was time for the photo taking to begin!
