What a doting grandmother won't do for a First Birthday celebration! This is not a particularly artistic photo, but I am posting it to share the love and fun of this gift. There are many parents and grandparents in 365 Land who might be inspired by what they see.
First you have to be familiar with an American storybook classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, shown here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28722085@N08/8435935063/in/photostream
Blair collected monthly photos of the birthday boy (with a sticker on his onesie for each month) and added them to an accordion-folded book of caterpillar segments that she cut out and joined together. To complete the story of Grady's first year, he will pose in the caterpillar shirt shown here and then the book will be complete! Clever Gigi, as she is called by her grandkids!
I am GiGi, for Great Grandmother to the little ones.
