First Birthday Scrapbook

I think this was covered in another area at some point, but I can't remember when/where and I'm too lazy to search!

So - for my son's first birthday NEXT MONTH!!!, I'm going to do a scrapbook (small, 8x8) at the parties. (Borrowed the idea from our friend).

On each page, we'll have each family member (or group) write a note to the baby, and we'll take a photo with them or of them to put on the page.

Any special ideas for other things to do? I know some have suggested that they write a prayer or wish for the baby. Or maybe a "why we love you".....

We did the same idea for our daughter. People just wrote whatever was on their mond for Sarah that day. I will be using them with the pictures of the people in a flip book on her 1st birthday pages.

Happy birthday to your little man!

I really like that idea!
So many good ideas.
Reminds me of the shower for our daughter recently--SIL had put up a few scrapbook pages with different titles, people could write on them, use for the scrapbook later.

Like the idea about the first birthday book!

Oh my> I haven't put the book together yet, but when I read what some of our friends and family had written...

The sweetest things were from my niece, who is in the 6th grade, and the babe's Uncle, who is a very big tall, manly man guy. He wrote the sweetest thing!!!!
