It is easy to see a theme going on...
January: Bean just waking up in the morning. We used to swaddle her up so tight. Now she greets us every morning standing on her tiptoes!
February: The morning routine. Cereal. Meds. Formula. Every morning. I'd be lying if I said I missed those days!
March: She put the sock in her own mouth. Her cuteness overrides my "un-" and therefore persuades me to post this picture. P.S. We had just finished a session of major scrapbooking!
April: I LOVE RAIN!! I could go for days like these the majority of the year!
May: The 12th must have been close to Mother's Day. S bought me these beautiful flowers. I am a lucky girl. He buys me beautiful flowers a lot...
June: My sweet garden. I've missed this retreat a lot more than I thought I would. It's so beautiful in the early summertime.
July: Bean would happily sit for a long time and just read her books. Though the days of sitting in one place are gone, she is still happy spending the majority of her day reading.
August: Irony. The most success I have ever had growing tomatoes occurred within the month that we moved. I hoped the new owners loved garden-grown tomatoes as much as we did and wouldn't let them go to waste. I also believe this is the last picture I will ever have of our first garden.
September: Ahh... San Diego. The weather was near perfect as we took all of these kids to the beach for the first time in their lives. San Diego sounds pretty awesome right now.
October: Many 12ths fell on days that I worked. When you spend as much time working with people, as I do these gals, they really do become your second family. And they were very patient every time my camera showed up on the 12th.

And they were very patient every time my camera showed up on the 12th. November: I can't exactly remember the circumstances, but I do remember having to do our grocery shopping on a work day after picking up Bean from my parents. I probably got a few strange looks walking around a grocery store at 10 p.m. with my sweet girl in her p.j.'s. (As I remember, she was an angel the whole time!)
December: One of Bean's favorite things to do at G'ma and G'pa H.'s is to read through all of the newspaper ads. This year she helped us pick out all of her presents. Very convenient.
This was a fun project and, while a few times the 12th slid into the 13th (...and one time I forgot altogether--happily we were on vacation so I took lots of pictures anyway!), I am surprised I actually followed through with something that was a whole-year commitment! Will I do it again? Probably not, once is good enough for me. Should you try it? Absolutely! It's fun to see how random pictures can so adequately describe one's life!
