This month

What month 6 is actually like.

Half a year, and the arrival of food — which is really the arrival of opinions about food. Six months is purée on the ceiling and an expression suggesting you have personally betrayed them with a spoon. The Foodie personality was more or less designed for this particular month.

Six months is the first cover where the food jokes have evidence behind them. The Foodie personality and a half-year stat block go together well: the bottle count is real, the outrage is real, and only the phrasing is editorial.

Taking the photo

Getting a usable shot at 6 months.

Six months is the sitting shot — propped or, briefly, unpropped. Have someone just out of frame to catch them, shoot fast, and take far more than you think you need. A high chair with food on the face is equally legitimate and ages beautifully.

Fresh off the press

What the cover says at 6 months.

A real sample, not a mock-up — every number below is worked out from the birthday, so this is what a 6 month old actually gets:

Charlotte — with the “The Cuddler” personality:

6 months in. Infinite potential.

I can sit up on my own now. I'd simply rather sit on someone. It's warmer.
  • How's your experience so far?
    Comfortable. I've learned to reach, and what I reach for is usually a person.
  • What do you love most about your days?
    Falling asleep on somebody who then cannot move for two hours. The good stuff.

Where do the stats on a 6 month old cover come from?

The birthday. Every number is worked out from how old the baby actually is that day — at 6 months that comes out as 1,300+ bottles of milk drunk, 500+ poops, 3,200+ 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.
