A YEAR OF MUR-MAN!

Posted by Lori~


It’s amazing how quickly a child grows in their first year and it really is important to document their development.  This can be done quickly, efficiently, creatively, and most of all affordably.

I have seen so many ideas—two blogs I follow, Young House Love and Bower Power, both use photoshop to edit in the week.  Check it out!  I love this idea, and may steal it for baby number two.  But I would probably limit this to once a month.
We opted for the classic block month by month photo.  I love it!

Bottom line—MOMS AND DADS:  DON’T MISS OUT!  THEY GROW UP TOO FAST!  DOCUMENT!  DOCUMENT!  DOCUMENT!
CREATIVE TIP:  The monthly photo shoot was the inspiration for my son’s SUPER FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY invitation (more on that later).

THRIFTY TIP:  We researched, followed blogs, and found the BEST deal on photo calendars!  This made for a fabulous and thrifty Christmas gift for grandparents, god parents, and friends!

Don't forget to take your baby's handprints too. We didn't think to do that until they were 2 months old!
