This month

What month 9 is actually like.

Nine months out — as long outside as in — and pulling up on the furniture has begun. Most of the day is now spent upright, holding a couch and looking extremely pleased about the arrangement. The cover marks the anniversary properly, with a stat block that has plenty to work with by this point.

Nine months is the halfway joke — as long out as in — and the stat block has the numbers to make the point without ever stating it. The cover treats the anniversary as a milestone in an ongoing career.

Taking the photo

Getting a usable shot at 9 months.

Nine months is the pulling-up shot: hands on the couch, visibly delighted, face turned back toward you. Shoot from the side rather than head-on, so you get both the grip and the expression in the same frame.

Fresh off the press

What the cover says at 9 months.

A real sample, not a mock-up — every number below is worked out from the birthday, so this is what a 9 month old actually gets:

Mateo — with the “The Menace” personality:

9 months in. Infinite potential.

I don't have a plan. I have momentum. Blink and it's different. You're welcome.
  • How's your experience so far?
    Thrilling. I touch everything, respect nothing, and I'm still the favorite.
  • What do you love most about your days?
    The exact second you look at your phone. That one's mine. I've studied it.

Where do the stats on a 9 month old cover come from?

The birthday. Every number is worked out from how old the baby actually is that day — at 9 months that comes out as 2,000+ bottles of milk drunk, 800+ poops, 4,900+ 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.
