It's been awhile, since I've started and finished a photo book, but I couldn't pass up an almost-freebie that came in from Shutterfly this week, so here's a book of some of my favorite photos from the boys' photo shoot with Brooke.
Photo book-wise, doing for Freddie as I did for Jones has proven to be far harder than I expected it to be. That's why the first book in the planned three-volume "Freddie's First Year" set wasn't finished until today - two days before he hits the half-year mark.
So ...
Awesome.
Anyway, I really have no excuse. I tried to make it easy on myself by using the exact same template that I used for Jones's "Daily Instagrams." That should mean it's as simple as uploading the pictures (which I can do from my phone, which I ALWAYS have on me) and plopping them in the pre-determined, chronologically-organized places.
Still, I can't keep up.
But I'm trying, and I'm glad I am, because strolling through these moments just a few months after they happened has been so much fun as I finished up the book tonite. I can only imagine how fun it'll be to go through them a few YEARS (or DECADES!) after they happen!
Now, I wait for Shutterfly to send an email with "FREE 8X8 PHOTO BOOK" in the subject line.
I'm not sure I put as much time into my dissertation as I did into Jones's baby book. In spite of that, there are STILL things I'd change about it; nevertheless, here is a link to see the book made to commemorate my first son's first year.
Now, the pressure is on to do the same for my second son.
