This is dumb, but when you guys do your monthly pics, are you doing it based off weeks or months? Like, N is 4 weeks old today- but he isn't actually a month old until 9/20- in 3 days.
Do i pose him for pics today or on Wednesday? Does it even really matter? My excessive need for everything to be perfect / correct is taking over and I can't decide. Bonus for today: DH is home for his last day of vacay so it would be cute to do with him... but he's not a month old til Wednesday! Or is it today?

I been meaning to take weekly pics too but while we took a ton of photos since she was born I havent managed to take actual week 1 2 3 pics! Boooo. So .. i decided to just do the month ones and will take them on the 23rd of the month. Or that is the plan anyway 😁
As for your Q. So you add any card/sticker/board or whatever when you take the pic (or add one later)? If so the OCD person in me would take the pic on the day matching the text. So 4 weeks at 4 weeks and 1 mo at 1mo. If I couldn't decide or such beforehand I would prolly take both just in case 🤗

I do my monthly pics based on the month, not week (so for me it's the 12th of every month). But when I talk about how old she is, I use the week.

I do mine on the day of the month - so, the 14th.
I was anal with T and always had to do them on the 22nd. I wouldn't do them a day early or late.

We were given baby moments cards go use in photos but they are weird! Came with 1wk 2wk then skipped 3wk and went to 1mo then on to 6wk. What happened to wk 3 and 5.. and 4wk =/= 1mo hah. #analindeed LOL

We do both and try to do it on the exact day but sometimes are a few days late. I think we stopped the weekly photos at 30 weeks and changed to months with our daughter.

I also was thinking about this. I decided on sticking to the 20th of each month also. I got the monthly stickers free when signing up for emfamil mailing list. (I have emfamil coupons if anyone needs) I have decided on using this pink elephant blanket for every month. Should I do Any thing special for the clothes? I was wondering about outfits, too! A few ppl I know put then in a plain white onesie but I don't even Think I own a plain onesie that fits him anymore! |

I wasn't planning on it, but the outfit I used for P in the picture upthread I think I'm going to try to use (or some variation of) for all of her monthly pics. |

I did different outfits with T. Sometimes, I'd buy an outfit for the photos if I didn't have anything that the sticker would look good on. Then once she started crawling the pictures got more difficult and the stickers didn't stay on long.

Y'all are way more on top of it than me. I think I got to the 3rd week and then stopped. Mostly because of moving, but now it's hard to get back in the habit.
