Help Please - Making a Photobook for My Newborn

I'm making a Shutterfly photobook for my newborn daughter. It's a compilation of photos from my pregnancy (sonograms, my belly shots), her birth and up until her 1 month birthday.

I need help with captions for some of the page. I don't want to be too repetitive (ex: 'Our Happy Family'... 'Our Beautiful Baby Girl'.....etc...) and I would like to include some cute phrases, short poems, etc.... but I have major writers block!

Any suggestions of quotes, short poems, phrases, etc... for a newborn girl's photobook are greatly apprecaited!

Thanks!!

Maybe verses from songs or lullabies?

Also, if you are into scrapbooking at all, the sticker quotes have some great ones...

Here's my favorite newborn poem, maybe y ou could put a few lines per page to stretch it out???

Baby

George Macdonald (1824–1905)


WHERE did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into the here.

Where did you get those eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as I came through.

What makes the light in them sparkle and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left in.

Where did you get that little tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.

What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand strok’d it as I went by.

What makes your cheek like a warm white rose?
I saw something better than any one knows.

Whence that three-corner’d smile of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.

Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.

Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made itself into bonds and bands.

Feet, whence did you come, you darling things?
From the same box as the cherubs’ wings.

How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me, and so I grew.

But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought about you, and so I am here.
