1. A chalkboard wall

Apartment Therapy‘s chalkboard wall idea is especially easy if you already have one in your kitchen or hallway for making to do lists! Grab some chalkboard paint, write the month’s number on the wall however you please, and set baby in a cute, comfy chair with a pillow or a toy.
2. 2. A ribbon and a rocking seat

It is important to use the same background every time. This helps you show how much you care. BabyThe space has changed and grown each month. Once you got a space you like (we really like Making it Lovely‘s rocking chair and bookshelf idea because it almost looks like a library), try using numbered award ribbons to mark out these months! To make each onesie stand out, pin it to a plain white T-shirt.
3. Photoshop and fabric backgrounds

This idea is for you sewing mamas, rejoice! Lay out a new brightly colored or patterned fabric each month. BabyYou can wear a onesie or a plain white shirt while you are seated. For the best looking shot, frame your photo so that the edges of the pattern are not visible. Once you’ve uploaded the pictures, use Photoshop or another editing program to add the month numbers onto baby’s belly. It’s quick and simple for BabyYou only need to take one step more!

Instead of just marking the months, how about keeping track the actual months? You can create a backdrop using a poster, large desk calendar or printed out, similar to the one used with fabric.
