In case you haven't noticed by reading my blog, I really like to take pictures. I have always been a big picture taker, my mom always thought I took too many pictures. I love having the memories. When I was pregnant for Floyd (who is now 18 years old) I read a great idea for taking pictures each month for his first year of life, preferably next to or in something to show how much he had grown. I loved this idea and used it for both Floyd and Krystal, placing the pictures in these photo frames:
I then decided that I would continue the tradition with our little girls (and now our little guy). Unfortunately, because I had to wait a while to get film developed I struggled to figure out which picture went with which month. (In fact, I still have pictures to develop of Tabitha and I am hoping I can remember which pictures are which.) It was then that I saw another great idea on various blogs. I saw people using signs to mark each month. The thing was, I wanted to keep it possible to frame the pictures as I did above and I couldn't fit putting a sign next to the children. Then I saw the idea of putting the age right on the clothing. That would obviously work with the way I wanted to frame the pictures. But how to implement this idea? I didn't want to write on the clothing. So, I let the idea go by the wayside. Then when I was pregnant with baby Harold I found this great company that made month milestone stickers. The company is Picky Sticky and here is a little bit about them from their website.

ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the giveaway. These are really great products.
ReplyDeleteI would love a set of these to give to my sister in law who is expecting. Such a cute idea
ReplyDeleteWe used these for my daughter and I loved them. I plan to use them again. It made documenting very easy.
ReplyDeleteI love these stickers. I didn't have anything like that when my 4 and 3 year old were born, but found some on etsy when my 14 month old was born. What a fabulous idea and the designs are so adorable...especially the Little Critters one. I think I need them for baby #4!
ReplyDeletethese totally beat the hand made signs!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my I cant wait to have one of them sets
ReplyDeleteThank you for highlighting picky sticky and doing a review. I am always looking for something interesting and fun to do while tracking my little one as he grows and these are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think this is such a great and cute product.
ReplyDeletei love these onesie i have a new grandson and they would be perfect for him
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have had these for my kids, not only are they cute but it ensures you don't miss a milestone:)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I already have a boy set and a girl set for when I decide to have kids because I love the idea so much... Now I have to get a belly set! :) The Picky Sticky belly set is so fun too!
ReplyDeleteThese are such a good idea! These would be really fun to use with new baby in June!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I learned of this company-- it's perfect for keeping track of when you take certain photos of your growing child.
ReplyDeleteI love these!!! Never heard of them before this giveaway. I would love to get the Build It Up collection. Adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI also take A LOT of pictures. I like the frames for the frist year pictures. Most of my pictures are digital and on a portable hard drive which I think makes it a pain getting the off to use. I love the month stickers. I love the You Build it Set too.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable, I have so many pictures of my kids and have to think about how old they are. This really helps to take the guess work out of the equation.
ReplyDeletewish I known this when my daughter is still baby so she will know how she will look like when she is still on her monthly old.
ReplyDeleteThese would make perfect baby shower gifts! I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteI found out about these stickers after it was too late for my daughter, but I'm excited to use them in the future for my son, due in June!
ReplyDeletei want to have the ones with the pics of the cars and stuff on them - SO cute!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute and I love all the different ones they have!

ReplyDeletekarinaroselee at gmail dot com
Why didn't I think about inventing these. :-) I love this idea and wish I wouldn't had them for my four kids. :-)
ReplyDeletemy_2_cents at hotmail dot com
These are such a great idea, I wish I had them when my kids were little. I would be able to tell how old my kids were in the pictures that I have!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute idea! my daughter in law took pictures with a theme each month.was fun seeing what she would come up with each month!
ReplyDeletepkeintz@gmail.com
I love these ,I wish they were around when my children were small. They will make a great baby gift.
ReplyDeleteI ave taken monthly birthday pics of all 5 of my boys. These stickers would make it so much easier with baby #6! Before I've just written the month on a piece of paper and tried to prop it up next to them. Not always easy to do!
ReplyDeleteThese are cute, great for pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea. People are always asking me how old my babies are! I love the idea for pictures like you suggested above. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a smart idea. All my friends use paper. :)

This is such a unique idea. I like that you can do the suprise gender and keep them for the birth of your next child :)
ReplyDeleteCindy B (on rc/fb) ~ these are really cute ~ I even saw something similar on Martha Stewart's show the other day.
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute. I wish I would of had them with my first born. I now have to have them for my baby due next month.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome, I want to get them for my sister, I wish I had had them when I had my 2 kids though.
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting our first baby in August, and I love this idea. I love how you can have great photos, and still keep them as a keepsake after for the scrapbook, etc. I love all the different designs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great product! It takes the guesswork out of age when you look back.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea to do those frames for each month. I never thought of that. Ive seen them used for each year of school but never gave a thought to each month in the beginning! So smart!!!
ReplyDeleteI love to scrapbook and take pictures of my son and I think with my son this would be such an awesome idea to show how fast he grew up. I love the simplicity of the idea. I hope this goes very far for you because this is such an awesome idea!!!
ReplyDeleteThese stickers are so cute, and such a great way to celebrate! They are so simple and adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. I have a baby shower at the end of this month and this would be a great gift. Everyone is obsessed with taking lots of pictures of their baby!
ReplyDeleteI love these stickers & they would be perfect for a baby shower present. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
ReplyDeleteI love these Picky Sticky stickers.
ReplyDeleteI personally like the new Lovely shades Picky sticky. They would work for a baby shower where the sex isn't known. Like my sisters
ReplyDeleteI started taking pics of my little girl with a sign next to her, wish I had know about these a few months ago when she was born! Luckily they have a "2nd year" set and I could use them then!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cute way to document a baby's growth!:)
ReplyDeleteI love the Buggy Wuggy 2nd Year stickers. They would be GREAT for my niece!
ReplyDeleteLoved these picky sticky stickers and thank you for sharing your story and a great giveaway like this surely love it.
ReplyDeleteI used a similar sticky onesie sticker and it helped when identifying pictures especialy when you are super tired as a new mom. I recall looking back at pictures that I actually forgot I took.

I really need to be better at taking pictures of my babies. We do, of course, but maybe not so much as when #1 was itty bitty.
ReplyDeleteI like the Little Critters set in the "gender surprise" section. That way I can reuse them for future kids.
ReplyDeleteI will have to get these for our next baby! I like the boy ones with cars and things on them (your pics above, second row, first column)
ReplyDeleteThe stickers are all lovely. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think this is an awesome product! I remember my family having those round photos like you have posted. This is a great way to remember and see the little ones grow.
ReplyDeleteI love these! Ive never seen anything like them before. These would be perfect for my nephew who is due to be born in july.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable!
