Baby's First Year Album

This is the album we made for our cousins. It is a scrapbook that they can fill in with pictures and notes, for events that over the year. Since there are quite a few pages, we'll post a few at a time, over the next few days. Each page has generally the same set-up. The left side of the page has the month and a baby in a "matching" out fit. There is a spot for a picture and some spaces for journaling. The right side is a calendar, to write down little tid-bits that happen during the month.

The first page is title "My First Year", which is pretty obvious, I guess. The four little yellow rectangles are for the parents to write down the baby's birthday, weight, time, and length. It was all labeled, but not when the picture was taken.

Since the baby was born in October, it would only make sense to start with October. This page is decorated with some bats, spider webs, and a cauldron of slime. The little baby is all set for Trick-or-Treating in his little jack-o-lantern costume.

This page has the little baby in his Thanksgiving best. The turkey in the corner is just too cute to have for dinner! In the spirit of the season, there are leavings falling around the page. In the corner of the other page, the paper says "Happy Thanksgiving".

The last page on this post is for December. I don't think the picture does it justice. The baby is dressed in his elf outfit, ready to help the Big Guy during the holidays. The spot for the picture is bordered by some presents. There are some poinsettia and holly around the page, with gold sparkle accents.
