How are you dealing with pictures of DC?
I have taken SO many pictures of Maya... and have them pretty well organized in photo albums on Kodak Gallery. I've only ordered a few of the photos that I've framed for the house but have not put any albums together.
Has anyone started putting albums together? I don't even know how to go about it! Just order all the photos I like and go? Or wait until she is 6 months or so and just pick the best of the best to put in a 0-6 months album?
I don't know why this is on my mind but it is...

I love those books you can get made now..I did one on snapfish for my BFF's shower gift. I would really like to do a book for each month of his first year. DH is a photographer so I know we'll have tons of pics!! I was thinking that after that we would do one each year. Or maybe do one book of the first 6 months and the 2nd 6 months then one/year after that. I love pics and I know I'll want them to be in a place where I will be able to look at them and I think the books is a great way to do that!
Ladybug, I've totally thought of doing that too! But then there won't be actual photos... haven't you found having actual photos of you as a kid has been great as an adult? You can scan them in, etc. I know the technology will change once our kids are grown so I shouldn't even worry about it... but still
I think I am obsessive with pics. I've been making an album for each month on snapfish and I order them at the end of each month and put them into a real album at home. I already have 1 album filled with just 0-3 months. I like the idea of making a photo book from snapfish but I also like having the hard copy photos too. I'm also making her baby book which has lots of pics too.
I've also been making a movie on imovie with my favorite pics and videos and songs. So far the thing is already 12 minutes long and she is only 3 months!! I plan to play it at her 1-year birthday party and give it to the grandparents as gifts next xmas.
I've done some of this and am working on other parts:
Uploading everything I take to Kodak Gallery.
Burning onto discs and keeping a copy of each at my mom's (just in case...)
Printing favorites of everything and anything I take and putting in a regular photo album.
Making a scrapbook the old school way of the infancy stage for each baby.
Printing a photobook from Shutterfly at the end of each year for each baby to give them one day.
Whew!
Dh actually started a website for us: www.palmettomarshes.com and that is where we have all our pictures right now. I am planning on getting my favorites printed for the house/albums.
