Another fun way to say "I Love You" to the father of a new baby is to create a book filled with pictures of the infant next
to a printed sign that says, "I Love You Daddy." This is an especially good gift for fathers that are stuck at the office
away from their new baby throughout the day.
To create your Baby Signs book, begin by printing out several pages that say things like, "I Love Daddy," "You are the best!"
"My Dad Rocks." You can easily create the signs with a marker and a piece of paper or design them on the computer and print
them out. Just be sure to make the letters very large so that you will be able to read them in a photo in your book.
After you have created your signs, take your digital camera along with you as you spend a day with the baby. During each different
activity, destination, or chore position the sign next to the baby and take a photo. At the end of the day, upload your collection
of photos, but be sure to put them in a special folder so that the new dad won't get a glimpse of them before Father's Day.
Once you have collected your photos, create a new book in Picaboo and add your images. Arrange the best photos in chronological
order. On each page include text to describe what the baby was doing. Such as, "I love daddy when I'm lying in my crib," "I
love daddy when I'm eating breakfast," "I love daddy when I'm playing at the park," "I love daddy when I'm taking a bath."
To finish your book, use the collage frame page layout with the text box in the middle of the page, and include a final message
such as, "I love daddy all the time!" Select a special background to fill the middle of the frame, and add extra photos from
throughout the day around the edge for the perfect finishing touch.
The new father in your family is sure to have a wonderful time reading through his Baby Signs book and he may even want to
take it to the office to remind him of what his special baby is doing throughout the day.
