Ethan's Face Book


Ethan has gotten really good at recognizing faces and calling out whoever he sees.  As a little treat, I put together a book for him with all of his family and their faces.  It's hands down, Ethan's favorite book and we are required to "read" it to him every night.  Some nights he'll point to one of us and I'll say our names, other nights, I'll point and he'll say the names.  Either way, it's provided hours of entertainment.  Here's a little peek inside:


I used Shutterfly to create the book...they always seem to have some sort of sale going on, so I would suggest waiting for one.  We also used them for my pregnancy book.


Of course, we have plenty of pictures of Mama and Dada...those are two of his favorite words!  ;)


We have family that is nearby...


And family that is far away...mainly my family.


We also included the pets!  Ethan loves pointing and barking or meowing!  Too cute.


Super easy concept, but the it's easily one of Ethan's favorite things right now.  Totally recommend taking the time to make one for your own family.  It will be great to look back on years down the road too!

Now, if only I could take the time to make his baby book!!

  3. What a fantastic idea! Pinning : ) My Lucas is 6 months and I just started his 1 year baby book because I know how long they take and how far behind I will become.

  6. What a great idea! Do you ever have a problem with Ethan ripping pages from books? I'd love to do this but Noah is still in a ripping phase.

  9. My mother in law made a face book for my son. She took an old board book she had and glued photos on top of all the pages and it's a huge hit around here!

  10. That is a great idea! I love Shutterfly and could easily spend hundreds on all their cute photo gifts, and lots and lots of photo books :) I need to make a baby book too- I'm WAY behind.

  15. So cute! We have the baby photo book since she was an infant, and a scrapbook with all photo cards in it. I'll probably try to make a book like this once she's out of the ripping phase!
