Create a Personalized Baby's First Year Photo Calendar

Creating a personalized photo calendar of your baby's first year is a wonderful idea. Not to mention that it's relatively inexpensive - it costs you only as much as the cost of printing the calendar. And it's very easy and fun to do.

You just need a bunch of digital photos of your baby that you'll have to look through and choose from to find the perfect pictures for your baby's photo calendar. Once you know which picture (or pictures) you want to use for which month, you can get online and design the personalized photo calendar on one of the websites that offers this service. Or, you can go to one of your local photo centers and use their photo machine to do it there. In either case you will be able to choose from many different options concerning the background, the number of pictures on the page and their placement, etc.

Doesn't it sound easy?

Here are a few suggestions to help you come up with some ideas for your photo calendar:

Since January is in winter, why not put a picture of the baby with her warm clothes on?

Valentine's Day is definitely the theme for February. Who can resist a sweet baby holding a heart?

The perfect theme for March would be St. Patrick's Day - how about a picture of your baby with a shamrock headband? Or with a pot of golden coins sitting in front of her?

In April comes Easter, and with Easter come bunnies and colored eggs... perhaps the baby's first Easter picture is in order?

May, the baby's first Mother's Day. How about a heartwarming picture of the baby with her Mommy?

Father's Day is in June, so why not to take advantage of the occasion and include the picture of the baby bonding with her Daddy?

The 4th of July is definitely a day to remember - use a picture of the baby holding a small flag. Or perhaps, wearing a tiny t-shirt with 4th of July on it?

If you go to the beach in August, why not take advantage of the moment and take a cute digital photo of the baby sitting on the sand with the waves in the background?

For September, why not choose a photo with the baby and the proud grandparents?

October, the Halloween month, seems quite obvious - have you seen all those cute, tiny Halloween costumes for babies? What was your baby's first costume?

For November, how about a digital photo of a little baby with an autumn crown on her head? Who can resist this autumn beauty?

Baby's first Christmas seems to be the perfect theme for December. Who can resist a cute baby with a Santa's hat on?

Of course, apart from digital photos that might be perfect for each month, you might want to include some pictures of significant milestones for your baby, like her first smile, or the first time she managed to sit on her own. And of course, it would be a great idea to use the birth photo of your baby for the month she was born in!

So, without any further ado, open your files, look through digital photos of your baby and create a personalized photo calendar of your baby's first year!
