Sweet Little Baby {Book}

 
 
 
This is the baby book that I made for a very dear friend of mine who recently had her first baby, a sweet little boy.  I wanted to keep the design simple and not too fussy.  I designed the pages on the computer, printed them out and added just minimal stamping.  Aqua and orange is one of my favorite color combinations.  I added in some green and gray to have a little more variety to work with.

 
There is a 'Your Dad' page and an 'Our Family Mom's Side' that I didn't photograph.
 












 
Thanks, Laura, for reminding me to share:)


 
The book stops right at his first birthday, but if she wants, it would be so easy to continue with a few new page protectors and some new pages.

 
I think that is a new record for most photos in one blog post!
Have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!

I love everything about this project. I especially love the teeth chart... I've never thought about putting something like that in a baby book, but now that I see it here, it makes SO MUCH SENSE... getting teeth is such a milestone for little ones!

Did you make that chart yourself, or find it online somewhere? Would you be willing to share that file? Thanks!
