first year scrapbook.

i promised my cali family i would put up these pics of hunter's first year scrapbook. i also promise you that the scrapbook looks better in person. i made this while i was pregant so that once hunter was here i would just have to fill it with pictures. this was super smart and considering i had a severe case of mommy brain, meaning i all of a sudden lost my mind (still waiting for it to come back...) while i was pregnant; it is surprising i came up with anything smart! -i'm sure lots of mommies can relate!?!? i am so glad its already made because i have hardly been able to keep up with filling in the pictures. thank goodness i don't have a whole scrapbook to still make. if you are a preggers, i highly recommend making a scrapbook now, rather than waiting for your babe to arrive. trust me, you won't do it once they're here (unless you want to wait until they're in college...you'd probably have time then).


page 1: john hunter graham with all his arrival stats. the pics that are strewn everywhere to the left are waiting to find their place in the book. i have work to do!

pages 2 & 3: daddy & mommy page. young and old pics of us with a story about each of us as kiddos and where we grew up.

pages 4 & 5: another daddy & mommy page. a wedding pic of us so that hunter can see how in love we are. : ) and then pics from the day we found out we were prego.

pages 6 & 7: my growing belly & first glimpses of hunter.

pages 8 & 9: baby shower, nursery & hunter's arrival. this is where you begin to see all the blank spots for me to fill with pictures.

pages 10 & 11: coming home & the first month.

pages 12 & 13: 2nd & 3rd month happenings.

pages 14 & 15: 4-6 mos. happenings and 7-9 mos. happenings. hunter will be 8 months in a few days...i can't believe i have enough pictures now to fill up the scrapbook all the way to this page. wow, this boy is growing too fast!

pages 16 & 17: 10-11 mos. & 12 mos. (he will be 10 mos. at christmas!) the christmas page is my favorite.

pages 18 & 19: firsts = tooth, laugh, crawl, steps, birthday!

page 20: (not pictured) reserved for a big family photo!

the end!

i promise to post pictures of the completed scrapbook.
