Did you design an online photo book for baby's first year? If so, how long did it end up being? I am still working on DD's (yes she's 2 now) but its so hard picking my favorite pictures. I'm on birth to month 3 and I'm over 25 pages already.
How many pages was your book?

I did! And I totally haven't gotten it printed or even finished the last three pages or so yet! Ours will top out at about 30 pages, I think. It has a few of the girls together, but mostly just Lorelei (since it's for her first year). For Ellie I kept a pregnancy journal and a more detailed baby book, so this is sort of my gift to Lorelei because I slacked some on her other first year memory items.

I just did a "my first 6 months" because I had a free shutterfly coupon. It was 20 pages. It was SO hard to pick the pictures but I focused on themes for each page....(ie. 'time with grandma', 'pool time', 'smiley baby') and then choose from there.
I recieved it a week ago and I've looked at it no less than 20 times haha I LOVEEEE IT! and I'm so happy I did something all the pics!
Good luck choosing

@Mrs. Taco: Yea I've done some smaller books along the way with free coupons. Like first christmas, first zoo trip, etc so that helps. I LOVE these books!
I just texted DH asking if he would be mad if her book was 50 pages and over $100 and he said no! Thank goodness!

I'm doing one for the first half of the year and one for the second half. They will be 40 pages. There are just so many cute pictures to choose from. Then I will continue with my doing an album each year.

I did one on Shutterfly for the first year and gave to the grandparents for Xmas. It was about 50 pgs and I worked on it continuously all year.

I'm surprised at how many people have that many pages! I'm working on hers now and I was looking at 24 pages max. Now I wonder if I should include all the pictures after all! (:

I'm up to 10 months right now on his book. I think I'm around 24 pages. I've tried to keep each month to 1-2 pages. Plus I have one page for birth and one page for a family vacation.
