A Homemade Baby Book

Not long ago my sister-in-law determined that the bulk of baby books are a picture plus a single word such as "apple." Deciding she could do at least as well, she picked up some mini photo albums and filled them with pictures and labels. They certainly didn't cost much less than commercial baby books, but she was able to fill them with things specific to our family. Shortly after our daughter was born, she was welcomed with one of our sister-in-law's homebrew baby books filled with photos of family and their names or "titles" (eg Grandmom). It's one of our favorite things to show her!
