Memory Book

Last weekend J-Man and I took time to reflect on what a year it's been.  We uploaded a bajillion or so photos to shutterfly in order to make 4x6 prints.  Then we discovered how easy it is to make their photo books.  Let's just say PDG (and his grandparents) will not ever be lacking photographic memories of this first year.  

The prints arrived during the first of two seemingly pointless snow days.  All I had to do was slip them into the baby album Big Sis gave us at Christmas.

It was overall pretty effortless, and while not as beautifully intricate as the scrapbooks some friends of mine can assemble, it's at least done.  Something I didn't think Nicole the Procrastinator would have completed at this point.

Best of all, it's PDG's favorite book.  I don't know how many times in the past two days he has flipped through the pages.  He likes seeing himself "the baby" but gets a bigger kick out of any photo that has his mama, or dada, or aunt/grandma/uncle/cousin etc.  Which is serving as yet another reminder that photos of him are sweet, but photos of him with those of us who love him are also super important.  

So he turns the pages and giggles and pats as I tell him stories about how little he was when....  

As for my favorite memory?  It's right now, telling him about all the others we've had so far.
