The only baby book with video

A unique QR code printed on your baby book pages allows you to replay your memories in vivid detail, whether your “baby” is now 3 or 30.

Wouldn’t you love to look back on your baby’s first birthday video every year as you realize how fast they’ve grown?

And remember the way they wouldn’t even touch that sticky cake frosting.

Or to grab a box of tissues as you relive their pudgy-cheeked grin as they watched the hoard of friends and family members singing Happy Birthday?

But when was the last time you got to enjoy the 1,582 hours of video just sitting on your smartphone?

If you’re like me, the answer is not often.

Until now.

You can now organize your videos all in one place and replay them from your Short Years Baby Book!

“At first the price of The Short Years Baby Book seemed high, but now that I have the book itself and the first six months of my baby’s pages I am so happy I spent the money. It is simply beautiful. It is high quality and I am confident it will last forever so I can always look back at this precious time in my life.”

  • “I did not create a memory book for my first baby and have felt really sad and regretful about that since becoming pregnant with my second baby. I found The Short Years Baby Book + App on Instagram and was immediately intrigued. I love that it’s fast and easy and that the end result is this beautiful, shelf-worthy, timeless album. The mom guilt is lifting!”

  • “I knew I wanted to start a baby book for my first child, but was stressed about having enough time. I didn’t want to look back on a half-completed baby book and feel guilty that I never finished it. The Short Years was the perfect solution...I just spend a couple minutes before bed once or twice a week answering the question prompts and that’s it! At the end of it all, I’ll have a beautifully produced, high quality book that looks professionally put together and captures all of our memories.”

  • "Momma, get this app. Download it now. You will not regret it. Instead of browsing on social media during feedings, answer these simple questions and upload your photos. My baby is one next week and I have a nearly complete baby book! This book is the greatest investment and the app is a breeze to use."

  • “We proudly displayed my son's baby book at his one-year-old birthday and drew several compliments and envious "oohs and ahhs" from family and friends. The Short Years made it so simple. I couldn’t recommend this more to anyone. I cherish this beautiful keepsake today and forever.”

  • "I love how I can work on my baby book piece by piece when I have a few extra minutes while the baby is feeding or sleeping. Or when a milestone happens, I can go straight to the app and record what happened while it’s fresh in my mind. I really feel like this is the only way I’d remember everything that happened in my daughter’s first year."
