Chances are good that you have a great memory of your first child. The exact weight, length, labor time and time of birth are something that you simply don’t forget the first time. You can brag to people about when your baby started crawling and then walking, what the first word was and when it was said.
You may even still have the very first pair of booties or stuffed animal. Maybe you received a special baby blanket from a relative. These are all things precious to you that you never want to forget. However, as time goes on, and more children are added to your family, memories of those first moments may fade and become jumbled.
In addition, children themselves may begin asking questions about when they were born, what their first word was, when their first tooth came in, etc. This is the time when a Baby Memory Book can come in handy. You can make the books on your ownor purchase a personalized book for each child.
Purchased Baby Books
Most of the purchased books include information for important and memorable events that occur from birth to age 5 and include room for pictures, hospital tags, birth certificate, foot and hand prints, first Christmas and birthday memories. You could even include baby shower memories, a family tree, firsts, growth charts and doctors visits and immunizations.
Homemade Baby Books
The beauty of homemade baby books is in the fact that your children know how much time you spent on this project and you can include the things that you remember or like the most about your baby’s first few year.
You can make it as long or short as you’d like and add a personalized touch to every page. Homemade baby books can usually save money, however they will take lots of time and dedication.
No matter what you decide to do these baby memory books are something both you and your children (even though they may not have many actual memories of these ages) will be able to treasure for life.
