10 Pages Folks…it’s a 20 page layout, so I’m halfway through for the First Birthday Book. I got it down to a science now on how to whip through these things really fast. Thanks to Kelly’s organization on digital scrapbook files, I’m flyin’. (For all these free digi goodies, check out the slew of links on Kelly’s blog not to mention a great reason to read it right now is there will be a HUGE update soon and amazing pictures when this baby finally arrives: http://www.babyhutcheson.blogspot.com/)

Anyhoo…three more pages. It hurts my heart to look at the teeny tiners ones. Oh, she was so little! I can still feel her tiny diapered butt in my arms! I miss it! I’m getting serious, serious baby fever again. But I’s still loves my one baby for now!

And Christmas:

Oh, Box…thou art but four walls, but thou dost amuse her for so long.I slicest a window and a door, and thou dost transform thyself into a House of Play.

Thee cost nothing and yet she choosest thou above all other toys of value. How dost thou do it?
Thee cardboard walls taste like honey to her soul.
Thy opening dost become a pathway for her fun.
Thy simple existence doth create a smile of beauty on her face.
Oh, Box, Great Box, how great her love is for thy amusement! We love thee, Great Box of Fun.

Here’s a few more…
I’ll do one Christmas page to finish up these past few months and then go back and face the arduous task of selecting my favorite newborn and baby-baby pictures (That’s baby-baby as opposed to just baby…. you see teeny tiny is newborn, then baby-baby, then baby, then toddler. At 10 months, we’re at baby on the brink of toddler. I’m gripping “baby” with all my might!!! CAN’T LET GO!!!). So, we’re almost half way through the book!

And going back to her Baptism at 4 Months, a 2-pg. spread:
