Babies never do what we want them to do when we want them to do it. They poo at the most inconvenient time, cry in the middle of the night and only smile when there isn't a camera around.
So trying to capture a baby posing alongside a monthly milestone card is a hard task - one not many parents are winning at.
9Honey Parenting readers know this all too well so have hilariously sent us their picture fails that prove this tradition may not be the best one to commit to with a new baby.
From eating the card, crying through the photoshoot and even crawling away - these babies don't want a bar of it!

Sydney mum Nikolina hilariously shared the photo she captured of her son crying throughout a baby milestone shoot - refusing to give her just one quick smile.
Nikolina has been trying to document her son's first year of monthly milestones by taking a picture of him with a card throughout the year.
But the struggle she faces to get him to pose for the camera each time has ruined the fun!
"I regret ever committing to the tradition because now I feel like I can't give up until at least the 12 month mark", she's revealed.
Nikolina isn't the only one struggling with the popular pictures.
