I made a couple personalized books for my son a few years back out of the many photographs I have taken of him. I have been thinking about making one for my youngest son and realized I don't have quite as many pictures of him. His books will be much harder to design. But here is what I did. I went to one of the many sites that let's you create a hardbound book, (my favorite is Shutterfly) and I designed an ABC book.
Each page has picture of my son with the things he loves.
Starting with A and ending with Z....
Z was easy for us because my last name is Zappe. He loves his books and learns while he reads them. I also made a Colors and Numbers one. If you take a lot of pictures these books are so easy and will be cherished for years.
We did something like this when one of my boys was supposed to make an alphabet book for school- we didn't have enough pictures either so we put in things like P is for Pez, and L is for Luke Skywalker. We also used silly pictures like U was for Mallory in her unicorn Halloween costume. I went the cheapy route and put them in a notebook with page protectors.
