Wow…month 40. Whenever we count out ages by months, it seems so surreal, doesn’t it? Forty. Is that a lot? Is that a little? The answer to that question changes on a moment by moment basis sometimes.
When I told Claire that I needed to take her picture today, because she was 40-months old, she said, “No, I’m not! I’m three!”
When will I stop doing the monthly photos? I don’t know. I haven’t decided. If you know me, you know how hard it is to get me to stop doing something I’m already doing, especially if it fits so nicely into a patterned schedule.
So…it’s the 30th, so I took a photo. And, since I took a photo, I may as well share.
And, for some fun comparisons, check out this link for the other month-at-a-glance photos!



Forty sound like a lot at any age, me thinks. I think that’s why I’ll stop saying how many months old Amos is once we reach good ol’ 24. Maybe then I’ll use decimal points and really mess with people’s heads.
It was great to meet you!
My son is four months next week. I’ve got a long way to go to 40… She’s adorable. And tell her please, that 40 months is the new 3 years old.
I love that you take monthly photos and think Claire is just adorable!
It’s funny how we start doing that month thing! Or we always have to say oh she’s 3 and so many months..
Sheri, it seems like last week that Claire was 4-months old. I know it’s cliche, but time really does fly by…
Thanks, Princess Extraordinaire!
Bonnie, in my every day life, I just say Claire is 3…until we reach May, then she’s -and-a-half.
