Ideas for a Baby Memories Scrapbook
There are so many ways to scrapbook your baby's first year... in fact, it may be overwhelming! So here are a few ideas to help you gather and organize all those special mementos and create a beautiful scrap book, or two or three that will be treasured by you and your family for years to come!
This Is My Family
This scrap book will include pages for each member of the family - Mom, Dad, brother, sister, grandparents, even pets! You could also include pictures of the family home... the baby's room, the backyard, and other places the baby loves to be. You may also want to include pictures of their community - church, park, baby store - any place they've been and had fun!
My First Birthday (or other significant event)
These are easy to compile! Just gather lots of beautiful pictures, the mementos, and keepsakes from that day and get started. Don't forget to include the invitations, guest list, menu, games played, and other important activities of the day.
A Day in My Life
This theme is a great idea for a mini scrapbook. Take pictures of various events in your baby's day... even if it's just sitting in the high chair. It is a great way to capture the silly and precious moments in their life. This makes a great gift for grand parents, aunts and uncles... any family member who can't visit your baby as often as they'd like!
Watch Me Grow
This will be a compilation of all the major milestones of their first one or two years. There are the "standard" firsts of course... first doctor visit, first step, first tooth, first word. But don't forget the other, just as important, firsts: First Day Home, First Night with Grand Ma, First Church Visit, First Trip to the Zoo... you get the idea.
We're So Excited You're Coming
This is a good theme for children coming into a new family (i.e.: adoption, blended family, etc.). Document how you prepared for their arrival. That could include decorating their new room, having a family meeting to discuss the change, meeting with school officials... anything involved in the process. This is a great time to journal the feelings of the family too - not just the pictures.
So Many Reasons to Love You
This scrapbook will be a collection of pictures, mementos and journaling about the ways you and the family interact with your baby. Show simple acts of togetherness... then document your feelings. This type of book lends itself to singe picture layouts with lots of room for journaling.
In Summary
These are but a few of the types of scrapbooks you can create to document and preserve all those special Baby Memories into one, two or even three fabulous scrapbooks!
