This month

What month 8 is actually like.

Eight months is mobility without judgment. Something is crawling, and it is heading directly for the one object in the room you would least like it to reach. The cover documents this the way a magazine documents a rising talent: enormous promise, no supervision whatsoever, and several incidents already on record.

Eight months gives the cover a proper narrative: mobile, unsupervised, and with a stat block long enough to imply a track record. The “area for growth” line does a great deal of quiet work at this particular age.

Taking the photo

Getting a usable shot at 8 months.

A crawling baby will not stay put, so stop fighting it. Lie on the floor at their level, let them come toward the camera, and shoot continuously. Keep the motion-blurred frames too — one of them usually turns out to be the good one.

Fresh off the press

What the cover says at 8 months.

A real sample, not a mock-up — every number below is worked out from the birthday, so this is what an 8 month old actually gets:

Nora — with the “The Diva” personality:

8 months in. Infinite potential.

I don't crawl. I make my way to the center of the room. There is a difference.
  • How's your experience so far?
    Sold out. I move between rooms now, and each becomes the important one.
  • What do you love most about your days?
    Standing at the couch, waiting for somebody to notice. They always do notice.

Where do the stats on an 8 month old cover come from?

The birthday. Every number is worked out from how old the baby actually is that day — at 8 months that comes out as 1,800+ bottles of milk drunk, 700+ poops, 4,300+ farts (est.). Nothing is invented, which is what makes the numbers funny.

Is my photo kept private?
