I’m not really a scrapbooking kinda girl, but wanted something keepsakey and low maintenance to document Lincoln’s first 2 years. I filled out fun facts about his birth and 2012 world events in this book and journal in this from time to time, but that’s kind of a lost cause so I just started recording daily snippets in my One Line A Day book.

Inspired by this, I made a footprint book. And every 2 months or so Andrew and I ceremoniously ink and carefully press a squirmy foot on these pages before bathtime. Then I print out my favorite photos from that timeframe and write Lincoln a letter about his milestones and our adventures. And then I flip to that very first footprint and can’t believe my Linky baby is growing up.
