In this photo-obsessed world we’re living in, we’ve seen all kinds of ways to document and share a baby’s first year in pictures — some of which are sweet, some of which are wow, you really had time to do all that? Striking the perfect balance in the middle: The new My First Year baby photo frame from our friend, mom, and talented artist Kerri Lee-Sensiba, of Tree by Kerri Lee.

I think the lovely, fresh handpainted wooden designs (choose from a cute elephant or a more hipster camera motif) that are all made in the USA are a nice change from the more mass-produced and sometimes fussy 12-month picture frames that I tend to see.
It’s a fantastic keepsake baby gift in part because of your ability to personalize it, whether you add a name, birthdate, or some other short saying that’s meaningful. But if you don’t want to spend the extra $16, you’ve got some decent ready-made choices.
Smart touch: the colorful circular photo openings which make the frame look great on a wall even before it’s finished.
This is one thoughtful holiday gift for new parents, whether the baby has already hit one year, or one month — just fill it with the first few photos and they can do the rest. And the easy part is, I have no doubt parents will have more than a couple of options to choose from among their photo stash.
Word has it, parents like taking and sharing pictures of their kids these days. Have you heard that too?
