Some do it properly on the day. Others do six months in one sitting on a rainy afternoon and it still comes out fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe useful advice: write more than the date. First tooth is a fact. What they did when the tooth came through, and how many nights nobody slept, is the bit you'll want back in ten years. There is room for it, so use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAs a gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works as a baby shower gift, because it can sit unopened until the baby arrives, and as a new-baby gift, because there is nothing to assemble. If you're giving it, write something on the first page. An album that already has one entry in it is far more likely to get a second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep it somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest any pen on a back page before writing on a page you care about\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet ink dry before closing the book, especially over a photo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if we start late?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFill in what you remember and carry on.
