I wanted to make Henry a book with photos of his family for Christmas, and was so happy with the result that I had to share.
I actually think this would make an awesome gift for Valentine’s Day for your child. A nice reminder that he (or she) is loved. And a good way to reinforce all the family members he (or she) may not see all the time.
Henry really seems to like his love book. He stares at the pictures and pays attention throughout. I think the simple format and black and white lettering helps.
I planned to make this book in a board book style, but when a $20 free code in popped into my email in December from Shutterfly, I jumped on it. It was relatively quick and easy to put together right in Shutterfly’s online book builder. So easy that I’m thinking I need to make one every year.
What do you think of our love book?
Here’s the link for the entire book, in case you are interested.

Such a sweet idea!!
That is an awesome idea! Those memories can be enjoyed by the whole family forever.
I should really do this because when I ask Junior who loves him, he replies “BILL!”.
PS – That suuuuuuure is a cute kid you got there!!
Love that–such a great idea–pinning so I’ll remember it when my baby can focus on things more than 18 inches from his face
What a sweet gift! I absolutely love this idea…especially to make one every year. I used shutterfly to put together a book of our honeymoon pictures…we love it!
This is the cutest idea ever!!
So sweet! I love his book–I meant to make one forever for Forrest, and I never did. Shame on me. (But I did a ‘who loves Forrest’ coloring book for Christmas, so my 2 1/2 years of neglect were swiftly forgotten, I’m sure . . . ) It came out adorable, and I love the picture of him looking at it! Even the top of his head is cute.
What a beautiful idea, Kim!! I don’t think kids can hear they are loved enough times. Or any of us, really! What a great way to include pictures of people he doesn’t see everyday, too. Love it.
I think this is awesome! I’d love to do a board book version, but all the kits I’ve found are kind of…um..pricey for a board book. Maybe I should shutterfly it. Also, I’m wrapping my head around the wordpress transition, so when you’re ready to bite the bullet, I’m happy to help!
Love this idea!! I did a similar thing for my niece but I just put people’s names on the photos with a photo editor and printed the photos out to put in a simple album. I like it done in this format even more!
Your boy is sooo cute!
Darling! I did make a board book for Cream with the same idea, but Shutterfly is even better. And if he destroys it, you can order another.
Awesome, Kim! SOOOO cute!
I am pretty much copying all of your baby ideas hahah! Thanks for always inspiring Kim!
Such a cute idea! You are one creative momma!
So sweet. Very creative!
Oh Kim this book is so so cute! I’m totally going to have to steal this idea!
COOL!!!! Love it, a book Henry will cherish forever!
This is such a sweet idea!
Love it!
Super cute and creative A board book of this would be awesome, but I couldn’t pass up that coupon either
Such a great idea! This is too stinkin’ cute!
so fun!! i love me a good photo book – will certainly have to get harper in on the action soon!
This is the sweetest thing EVER. I’ve been thinking of good ways to have K look at family pictures… this is totally it! Thank you!!!
This is such a good idea. You should definitely become a mom blogger.
I love this idea! So sweet!
love this love book!!!
