Capture your baby’s monthly milestones with these creative monthly baby picture ideas!
I loved taking my daughter’s monthly milestone photos each and every month!
I sat her in the same chair each month, next to her plush unicorn and it was so fun to see what she did each month. Seriously, look how cute she is! (photo above).
Here are creative monthly baby picture ideas that you can re-create with your own little babe!
