To create a baby's first year scrapbook:

You will need 12 pieces of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock, a glue stick, a marker (or pen), and scissors.

1. DOWNLOAD the pregnancy journal/baby's first year package to your computer

2. Open the babyfirstyear.jpg file in your image editor and the babyfirsttable color file of your choice

3. Print 12 copies of the babyfirstyear.jpg file and 1 copy of the babyfirsttable

4. Glue cardstock to the back of each journal page to create scrapbook pages

5. Use a three hole punch down the left side of the journal pages

6. Place pages in a binder and decorate the cover

7. Cut out the baby's first squares along the dotted lines

8. Adhere to the date on the calendar that your baby completed the milestone

To fill out your scrapbook's journal pages:

1. Fill in month and year

2. Take a picture of your baby the day he/she is born. Then on the same day each month, take a picture of your baby. This will show how your child is growing each month!

3. Use the milestone marker squares to commemorate special events in your child's first year. Write in notes as well. Be creative! Your child will enjoy reading this with you when they get older!
