Today You : Anna : 02.24.10

IMG_8272

MORNING STORY : Today you woke up at 6am ready to tackle the day. You don’t want to miss out on anything, including the chance to change your clothes when Simon puts his on for school. He’s teaching you the ropes - eating breakfast (”toast, please”), brushing teeth & hair, etc. And then you help him wait for the bus. Today you did it in just a diaper and your monkey hat. Awesome.

MID-DAY STORY :
Today you had a super busy morning going to the library and running errands with Katie. You had a pretty good nap before you ventured out and returned home all sacked out in your car seat. Love the bow. Love the shades. Love the yellow shoes. I also love how you always tuck your hands under your legs when you fall asleep in the seat. Love you.

LATE AFTERNOON STORY : Today you hung out in my office in the late afternoon and checked out my newest supplies. You had a snack of Cheddar Bunnies and water (you love drinking water) and your best friend Lily made sure you didn’t drop any of your snack. As you might also notice you are in outfit number three (at least) for the day. Those orange socks are so cool. Love you sweet baby girl.

    I came across your website today and I find it very interesting. I wish I had internet 30 years ago so I can write a journal of my sons baby years. I think that is the best thing ever.

    Ali, I absolutely love how you scrap life and capture memories with both your picture and journaling. I hope you teach a class someday soon. Also, I would love to see pictures of your office/scrap space!

    Anna is wonderful!!!! Thank you for sharing her with all of us. I've been a fan of your work for years and Simon and my twins are the same age. I just love when you post about that sweet baby girl.

    great, great pics - you've given me such a great idea for 100's i take of the everyday, the moments i know are fleeting and so can't put the camera down for fear of missing one. I just ordered the stamp version of "today you" (i'm digitally challenged...for now) and can't wait to play. thanks, Ali.

    I love this progression throughout the day. I can't wait to get started on something like this when baby boy graces us with his presence in a few weeks. Thank you for always inspiring!

    I am so jealous of you - Anna still fits in her carrier seat ;-) My baby was too big at seven months, bleah.

    Would love to buy the "Today You". On your photos the Today You is printed each on a different line; however your link takes me to "Today You" printed next to each other. Am I to buy "You Mini Line...." and "Hand Drawn Think Borders...." and some how put them together? Sorry.. if this is a simple question, I'm new to all this!

    Hi there,
    I'm writing to you from the Parenting and Pregnancy channel at iVillage.com. We are compiling a slideshow of our favorite ways to chronicle baby's growth, and we love your idea! Please let us know ASAP (we are on a very tight schedule) if it is alright for us to feature your idea on iVillage, as well as use a few of your photographs. Please, also, send us the proper accreditation (who took the picture) so we can include that in the slideshow. Of course, don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
    Best,
