Birdie is four weeks old now, and I'm chipping away at her baby book on My Digital Studio. I think I'm caught up for the moment. I really like the software for these kinds of projects--I always do a baby scrapbook for our children's first year of life, but I try to keep the number of pages manageable. After the first month (when one naturally takes an obscene amount of photos), I try to stick to 1-2 pages per month after that. This way I have a nice record of each child's first year, and I have a good shot of keeping up with it for each child!
I did decide I'm going to make a hybrid digital scrapbook for Birdie. It is too hard to find the time to do all the physical scrapping right now. I also know that if I let the pictures get out of control now, I'll never finish her book, so I'm doing all the pages in MDS, and then adding some physical embellishments, such as the hospital bracelets after I get them professionally printed. I still have the big scrapbook project that I'm working on for my client and I need to keep working on that.
Your kids are getting so big and I am loving that you are calling your little daughter Birdie. My Granny's name is Beryl and I didn't know until I gave her one of those Grandmother's books to answer all these questions and then she gave it back all filled out that her nickname when she was growing up was Birdie.
