Welcome to Your Story
This book holds the story of one small person's first year — written by the people who love them most, in the middle of the days as they happen, so the little things are never lost.

How to Use This Book
This book works three ways, and every way holds the same pages. On your phone, tap any long box and type — what you type stays saved on your phone as you go. On your computer, click into the boxes and type the same way. Or print the pages you need and write by hand.
The photograph spaces are left open on purpose: add your own photographs when you print, or keep them in your family's photo library and let these pages hold the words beside them.
There is no right order and no deadline. Fill in a page the day it happens, or sit down at the month's end and write it all at once. This is a keepsake, not a test — every family's year unfolds in its own way, and this book simply keeps what yours was.
