\"\"<\/a>Life as a parent can be quite the whirlwind. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day routine and forget to stop occasionally and document all the milestones that have happened recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to make sure and capture the first few months of our daughter Lola’s life in a little photo book before time got the best of us, so I made a little collection of some highlights from the first three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>I love to use these mini photo books<\/a>\u00a0when making small albums and I usually just print all my photos onto a 8.5 x 11″ sheet of photo paper and then cut them out myself with an X-Acto knife, ruler, and cutting mat<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also stock up on different sized\u00a0gold letter stickers<\/a>\u00a0whenever I see them because I can always find a place for those …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>Since this is a baby book, I used different sized gold letters for the inside of the photo book to give it an alphabet feel (I love those marquee letters<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>I also cut-to-size a sweet “happy new baby” card that my friend Sarah sent me to use as the opening image\u2014it works perfectly!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>I LOVE having an instax printer<\/a> so I can make any\u00a0photo into cute little instax. Printing some of the\u00a0birth center pics this way really gives them a special look that sets them apart from the other photos in the book. Did you know I had a birthday baby? How crazy is that?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>I also included her newborn, one, two, and three month progress photos as well. They help show how much she has already changed in just a few months (excuse me while I go weep over that) and they also serve as little chapter dividers since the photos are chronological as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>She loves her baby gym<\/a> right now … if you’re looking for good toys, that pizza teether<\/a>, rainbow ball<\/a>, and bunny<\/a> are some of my faves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>AGH, she’s the best<\/em>!! Those portraits above were taken by Elsie when I took Lola to meet Emma and they are just too heart melting for words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s fun to commemorate special moments like her first bath or meeting her extended family (that’s her and my Grandma in the one photo\u2014too cute!), but I know there will be so many more special moments in the future, so there’s a lot to look forward to! xo. Laura<\/a>
