Scrapbook ‘Em!
Wednesday, May 16th, 2007For parents, their baby’s first milestones are so precious. Keeping the memories of their child’s firsts is priceless. And what’s the best way to keep the memories in tact all together? Scrapbook ‘em!
In this decade of digital technology and high-tech gadgetry, creating a baby book is still the finest way to hold keepsakes of your baby’s unforgettable moments. Your baby’s scrapbook is part of your family’s history. A baby book is not just a photo album, but it also includes every tangible bits and pieces you want to preserve, like your baby’s first haircut, first fingernail trimming, his/her hospital tag, the first loosened milk tooth, or your child’s first abstract painting (early doodling with color, that is).
It stores photographs of your baby that you yourself as a blissful parent took, along with the captions you made for these valuable snapshots—from your child’s first footsteps, first pose, first visit to the dentist or to the hair salon for his/her first trim, and tons of baby photos you devotedly shot. It may include a journal where you can take note of every detail of your baby’s growing up moments, including the growing up pains you come across.
A baby book not just displays memories from your baby’s early years, it also reflects a parent’s artistry and creativity in putting together his/her baby’s valuable mementos. You can draw, paint, sketch, scribble, and make designs together with the photos and items included in your baby’s scrapbook. You can even include lists, like your baby’s first favorites (favorite baby food, favorite color, et. al.), or your baby’s top ten words. As your baby grows, he/she can look back at his/her early years despite the lack of memory from such events due to infantile amnesia, because of this scrapbook you labored with love.
