Baby’s first year photo book, without the scrapbook stress

The first year goes by in a blur of night feeds, first smiles and a camera roll that fills faster than ever. A scrapbook sounds lovely, until you realise it needs the evenings you no longer have. Here is how to make a first year photo book that is finished before the first birthday.

How do you make a baby’s first year photo book?

Add the photos of the first year, choose a baby book and tell klikkie about the milestones. klikkie builds the book and writes the text, and you check it before you order.

1. Open klikkie and choose a baby book. My First Year lays the year out month by month.
2. Add the photos of the first year straight from your phone.
3. klikkie suggests your best photos. You decide what stays.
4. Tell klikkie about the milestones and it writes the text.
5. Look it through, change what you like and order.

Made for parents with one free hand

With a baby on your arm, typing is the last thing you want to do. Tap the microphone and talk instead. “These are from her first month.” “This was the day he rolled over.” klikkie places the photos and adds the words for you. Talking is about three times faster than typing, and you can switch to typing whenever the baby falls asleep. See how making a photo book by voice works.

Which milestones do you put in a first year photo book?

The moments you will want to read back in ten years. These are the ones parents reach for most.

• Month 1, the first day home and the first visitors
• Months 2 to 3, the first smile, the first laugh and the first bath
• Months 4 to 6, rolling over, the first food and meeting the grandparents
• Months 7 to 9, sitting up, crawling and the first tooth
• Months 10 to 12, the first steps, the first words and the first birthday

You do not need all of them. One page per month with a few favourite moments already makes a beautiful book.

Month by month, without the scrapbook stress

Say “put the pages in date order” and the year runs from the first day home to the first birthday. Want each part of the year to start on a fresh page? Ask klikkie for a new chapter, like “start a new chapter for her first summer”.

What do you write in a baby photo book?

A few words per page. A date, a weight, a funny habit, who came to visit. Tell klikkie the story behind the photo and it writes the text. In voice conversations, 1 in 4 people tell the story behind their photos, and those little stories are what you will read back for years. Books with text are also ordered about four times as often.

How long does it take to make a baby photo book?

Less than one nap. Once your photos are in, klikkie builds a baby book in about 2 minutes. Looking it through and adding the last details can take a little longer.

A book for every year that follows

Many parents make the first year book and then keep going. A family yearbook from your phone is the natural next step, and a copy for the grandparents is one of the most loved gifts. Books start at €14, see all klikkie baby books or read our guide to making a baby photo book.
