Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Pictures- documenting

How are you documenting your LO's 1st year?? Do you scrapbook, make photo books i.e. Shutterfly, etc.?

I'm feeling overwhelmed with the volume of pictures I've taken month to month and the lack of organization on my part!!! Embarrassed

  • I take pictures monthly and keep them organized on my computer in folders labeled like that. I also print a few of my favorites each month and put them into 2 albums.. one for me and one for my IL's

  • I tried doing the monthly growth pictures, but I quit at 6mos due to the fact that I almost never remember.  Makes me kinda sad, but I take so many pictures of it so once I get them all into a photo album, the growth pictures will be a mute point.

    I have a good friend who is a professional photog, she does a monthly photo shoot of Adeline. I have a few photo albums that I have kept organized but I need to get some more pictures ordered. I haven't worked on it since she was 5 months old :(

  • I keep them all in photo albums. I started a photo album when DH and I started dating and have kept them ever since. It's neat to look back b/c the albums are almost like a journal of our lives.

  • I am doing quarterly shutterfly photo books for her first year. (Birth - 3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12) Then I'll do my best to continue doing photobooks yearly. I've been keeping up with this better than writing in her baby book. I also record milestone events in the photo books.

    All of our digital pictures are also uploaded to flickr for storage along with a backup hard drive at home. We have them stored by month right now.

  • I use Picasa which is extremely helpful in keeping pictures organized - I have them in folders by the month.

    Then I upload them to my Picasa Web Album to share with family/friends.

    I have been printing out my favorites by month and making a scrapbook.

    I also have the traditional baby book and I am keeping that for him as well.

  • I have a private blog set up that's written to Sabrina... it's like a Baby book, I guess (dont' have one of those so not sure). I write in there whenever and post pictures. After a year, I plan to turn it into a book using blurb.com. I made my wedding album through them and it turned out great. I'm very excited to see how the blog to book thing goes.
