Wanted to share this idea for an inexpensive LO Xmas gift

Kate loves looking at pictures. I have given her some random ones of herself, family members and our dogs that she carries around all day. She points to them and says, "dog",  "Kay" (Kate), "Mama", "Dada". So I bought an small album and printed off pictures of our extended family, me and my husband, Kate and our dogs so she can have her own little photo album to look through. I wanted to share this because I know, at least for me, that I can get caught up in buying so many toys that she probably will only play with for a limited period, and I'm not so good at creative (and inexpensive) gift ideas.

    This is a great idea. Kids love looking at pictures of other people and babies. Might as well be people they know.

    That's a great idea!  I'm going to do this for DS also.  This is great since my family lives far away and album still allows him to see their faces.

    Love this! I was think I am going to do it since we live so far (~16 hours) from our family. This way he can recognize them. We also skype with them which helps as well.

    My mom got this for DS for his birthday: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Q7G3VM/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1XEX0BDP8MOK2&coliid=I3JQ07B1MMJDYH

    She put pictures of my parents, my brother, MIL, SIL, cousin, me & DH and DS.  Oh and she put pictures of our cat and my parents cat.  He LOVES it.  We ask him to point to so and so and he does.  And now he's started pointing to the faces and saying "gramma" or "grampa"  So cute.

    In a similar vein, DD is also obsessed with flashcards.  Last Christmas someone gave us sign language flashcards, and on one side they have a picture and a word, and on the other side they have the sign.  She carries them around everywhere with her.  So for this Christmas I got her some flashcards with other things on them.
