Kid Photography

I love taking pictures of BB.  It became my favorite hobby the day he was born.  Granted it was much easier back then when he'd just lay on his back and not move.  Now, he's a blur of activity in most pictures.

When I do get a nice shot though, it just melts my heart.

Scrapbooking

As previously mentioned, I finally finished Max's first year scrapbook!

I used Shutterfly's photobook web app which was surprisingly nice.  I'm sure power users like Monkey will still stick with Photoshop, but for your average scrapbooker who has A.D.D. and trouble making choices, the Shutterfly app was perfect.

I ordered a big 12x12 book for ourselves, each grandma, and our aunt in taiwan.  So happy with the result.  It really looks amazing.  I've flipped through it numerous times since it's arrival.  Love seeing BB's face blown up (pic below taken with my iPhone 3GS and therefore really crappy).

Lucky for you readers, I can share my project online via a link. Feel free to bask in BB's cuteness here.

Note: the book is sprinkled with song lyrics.  Most of them are songs Badge and I made up and sang to BB throughout the year (the Wildflowers and Blackbird are of course not).
