This month

What month 2 is actually like.

Somewhere around two months the first real smiles turn up, and they are devastating — largely because they are so obviously conditional. A two month old has worked out that a face can be aimed. The cover leans on exactly that: a portrait with a genuine expression, and copy explaining what that expression cost the household.

The Diva personality reads especially well here, because a two-month smile really is a performance with conditions attached. There is finally enough on the board for the stat block to be funny without any exaggeration, which is when this cover works best.

Taking the photo

Getting a usable shot at 2 months.

The smile is new and completely unreliable, so shoot in bursts rather than waiting for the one perfect frame. Keep your own face directly above the lens — a two month old looks at you, not at the camera, and that eye line is the whole shot.

Fresh off the press

What the cover says at 2 months.

A real sample, not a mock-up — every number below is worked out from the birthday, so this is what a 2 month old actually gets:

Olivia — with the “The Boss” personality:

8 weeks in. Infinite potential.

I don't cry. I communicate. I don't follow a schedule. I set the pace.
  • How's your experience so far?
    Incredible. I'm fed, adored, and quoted constantly. Frankly, I run the show.
  • What do you love most about your days?
    Milk, naps, and how one squeak stops the whole room. It's called influence.

Where do the stats on a 2 month old cover come from?

The birthday. Every number is worked out from how old the baby actually is that day — at 2 months that comes out as 450+ bottles of milk drunk, 150+ poops, 1,000+ farts (est.). Nothing is invented, which is what makes the numbers funny.

Is my photo kept private?

Yes. Covers live at an unlisted link only you can share, they're never shown publicly or used for advertising, and free covers are automatically deleted after about 30 days.
