Baby Books

When Anthony was born I swear to you I reported any tiny milestone that he accomplished. Took a picture every day of his first year, scrap-booked, and videoed him all the time. Alex came and even though we were just as thrilled  about his arrival we tended to not bring out the camera as much, still made an effort but tended to forget more, have dead batteries, or whatever lame excuse I can give. Poor guy doesn't even have a baby book except for this blog and all the pictures that are waiting patiently in the folders of my computer.

So I decided that I am going to have his baby book up to date before baby #3 gets here. Baby # 3 will probably be lucky to have a picture taken-geesh! So on that note I would love recommendations for places/ websites that you have purchased baby books, photo albums, etc. How do you keep  all of your family mementos organized? How do you decide what artwork is in the keep box? Clearly I am nesting but I am taking full advantage of this because once #3 arrives I know a lot of this will be put on the back burner again.
Love you little man!

By the way-my ultrasound is scheduled for Monday at 10:15 am....

I was horrible with Colton's baby book and at some point I went and filled in what I could remember. But I kept a pregnancy journal for him, and not for Nolan, so they both feel have a 1 complete book. I save way too much of their stuff, but they will often go through and throw some stuff out, and ohhh and ahhh at so much of their stuff its hilarious.

I make shutterfly books for each year of Lucy's life. I also made one for her 1st three months since I was obsessed with taking her photo! That way, you can upload pictures throughout the year and organize them into a book little by little and then at the end of the year....voila a scrapbook!Can't wait to find out on Monday!!! You better text me ASAP!

I bought 2 photo books - one for professional pics and one for reg. pics...I safe them in folders on my computer and upload the ones I want to print. I also have a baby book (record things monthly) and baby journal where you just record something that happens w/the date that is noteworthy...can you tell Owen is an only child!!!??? Ha!
