A year in pictures!

[elizabek]

I want to encourage you ladies to take 1 picture of your child per day for this next year. I no it seems like a lot of work but wow is it worth it! I did this with Daniel last year, I then uploaded them to walmart and made a flip book from them (well it was really 3 flip books could not fit all in one book) or you could just make a slide show on your computer of them. But it is so fun to flip threw the year and see how much he changed. I took a monthly picture next to his height chart on his door so we could see how much he grew, and in one month he grew 5 and half inches!!! There is no way I would remember that if I had not taken the picture, and I know in 10 years I will not remeber the stiches he got from trying to be spiderman had I not taken the picture of him in the ER in his spider man outfit..

 

I am doing this with both boys this year. I will make sure I post them to keep you all updated!

Yes, it is important to take those pictures...they grow up too fast.  It is nice to reflect too!  I've seen the books...they are really really nice.  It's cool that you are thinking ahead....the kids will enjoy them too when they grow up.  I scrapbook and my boys, though older, love to look thru the books from time to time...they appreciate that i've captured their lives and so am I.

Great job MOM!
