Lil'Grams is here to make capturing special moments from your baby's life absolutely simple. We're there with you, wherever you are - whenever you need us.
Lil'Grams organizes memories into Grams. If you haven't already, we recommend reading "What are Grams?".
back to topLil'Grams let's you capture and share any moment, no matter how big or small. Don't worry, though, we've pre-designed a number of grams to get your juices flowing.
| Gram | Ideal For | Example |
|---|---|---|
| sharing a funny/cute story or anecdote | "Aiden just threw up his entire lunch - in my pocket!" view example |
|
| measuring height and weight changes - as they happen | First visit to the doctor's office view example |
|
| capturing every new milestone or first, no matter how big or small | First Father's Day! view example |
|
| savoring every new morsel baby eats, whether they like it or not | Eating strawberries (and loving it) view example |
|
| compiling your best photos and videos - start that highlight reel! | "Anyone see the baby? Hmm..." view example |
|
| tracking baby's language as it develops, from to mama to dada | He said bobo, ya know - bottle. view example |
Best of all, we'll be constantly adding new grams so check back often for new, fun ways to share.

back to topQuickGrams - Super Simple Updates
Sometimes, you just need to say it out loud - not everything maps to a gram. That's where the QuickGram comes in - say whatever you want!
The Gram Menu is available on every page you visit in your baby's site. Simply hover over the menu to see all your options.
back to topYour Media Dashboard lists all your media (photos and videos) that are not currently attached to a specific memory.
The Media Dashboard works especially well with the Lil'Grams Desktop Utility.
To make media files into a memory:
Each kind of gram has a special form that goes with it. The form is meant to make it super simple for you to quickly store the facts you need.
back to topDon't Worry About Dates
Lil'Grams knows how hard it is to remember precisely when something happens. We've given you loads of ways to make that decision.
Here's your 3 options
- Magic Date - If you have a photo that goes with the memory, simply upload it and we will automagically figure out the date for you!
- Approximate Date - If you sort of remember how old your baby was when something happened, you can guess a relative date (ex. 8 months old) and we'll calculate a date
- Precise Date - If you are a note taker by nature, you might know the date so you can enter it directly
Photos & Videos Make Memories Better
We're confident that every gram is better with photos and videos. Attaching them is a breeze too!
Here are your 2 main options:
- Browse Computer - if you have photos or videos still on your computer, you can instantly upload them here - select 1 or 100, it's up to you.
- Browse Albums - Lil'Grams manages all your albums - both on our site as well as on your other media sites. Choose the album, the photos, then click select.
No Child Left Behind
As your family grows, Lil'Grams grows with you. Every gram can be published to one or all of your children's accounts with the check of a button.
Security & Bragging Built In
As parents, we have two concerns - making sure our kids are safe and making sure everyone knows how great they are. Lil'Grams shares those concerns with you.
Some things to keep in mind
- Sharing - not all memories are made the same, and they're not all intended for just anyone
- Publishing - some moments are just too good to keep to yourself - link your accounts and gain bragging rights
We've prepared a number of guides to get you started.
