About this app

Download The Short Years app and create your first baby book chapter in just five minutes!

Once a week, The Short Years App will remind you to upload a photo and answer a couple of questions about your baby’s milestones and special moments. Many parents tell us they do this while feeding their baby or watching a show on Netflix.

We’ll turn your text, photos, and even video into beautiful baby book pages!

Once you’ve purchased your book, we will start printing and shipping your pages to you every time you complete three chapters in the app. Just pop them in your book!

And, if you want to capture all of the sweet memories until your baby turns five, simply add on “The Toddler Years” at checkout. Doing so will allow you to access The Toddler Years chapters in your app and to receive these extra chapters in print to add to your baby book.

The Short Years Baby Book has a premium fabric cover, handcrafted to stand up to a lifetime of enjoyment and measuring 11.5” x 9.25”. It is bound with three matte black rings, making adding pages to it a breeze.

The book includes:

*19 chapter covers (+ an additional 5 if you upgrade to The Toddler Years) for easily organizing your book’s pages as they are shipped to you.
*Hands and feet prints pages to take with you to the hospital or birth center.
*Six lined journaling pages for jotting down extra notes
*Personalized name card for cover
*Free printing and shipping of all 119 of your baby book pages documenting baby’s first year.


Discover the easiest way to document and cherish your sweet one’s first year!

This is the new scrapbooking! Love how easy it is to fill in each chapter, document milestone and write sweet messages for you little one to read later in life. You download the app, start uploading your favorite pictures, and answer the simple questions. Once you complete 3 chapters (1 chapter per month) they mail you your prints. The pages are very modern looking. I'm almost done with the first year and the book looks amazing

This app makes keeping a baby book ridiculously easy! The app is so clean + simple + easy to use. The pricing is straightforward + I appreciate that there isn't a monthly fee like some other similar apps. The only thing that would make it better is if the questions could be edited/taken out. Sometimes there are questions I don't like or don't want to answer or that aren't very applicable at the time. If that was something we could edit, it would be even better!

This app has revolutionized the way I make baby books! No more running out to get photos printed, no more struggling to make my handwriting as perfect as possible only to mess up on the simplest word, no more procrastination that puts me months behind! My third child's baby book is far more impressive and was far easier to make than the first two. I will definitely be using and recommending this system for years to come.
