Baby Scrapbooks

Here are some tips on making baby scrapbooks. There are many aspects of your baby's life you can include in your baby scrapbook, but here are a few ideas to get you started.

1. Pregnancy -- you can include ultrasound photos and various stages of your pregnancy.

2. Nursery -- if you've created the perfect nursery -- document it! Take photos of building the crib, painting, etc.

3. Family History -- include a little about your family, parents, grandparents, etc.

4. Birth Day -- ID bracelets, baby with parents/grandparents/brothers/sisters, footprints, etc.

5. Homecoming Day -- Baby being carried into the house, any signs or decorations.

6. Sleeping Baby -- with mommy, daddy, or alone.

7. Bathtime

8. Moods -- first smile, grouchy, content, etc.

9. Body Parts -- hands, eyes, long eyelashes, feet, close-up of face.

10. Holidays -- make sure you get their reactions to firsts -- such as seeing Christmas lights, hearing jingle bells, the touch of a soft Easter bunny, etc.

This is just a start for your baby scrapbook -- if you don't have a digital camera already, this is a perfect time to get one. You are going to want to take lots of photos of everything, but this way you only print the ones which turn out perfectly. Baby scrapbooks are so important because the time goes by so quickly, and it's easy to forget little things.
