Page Ideas

• I used a 12 x 12 portrait page in my daughter's baby album to hold the t-shirt the hospital gave her. I used photo tape to secure it inside the page.
• Another way to display baby clothes is to take individual pictures of each one, cut them out and "Hang them " on a clothesline drawn with pens! Or cut out the clothes and add little tabs to make a 'paper doll' page! (Stef)
• Title for baby/toddler page: "Watch me grow". Make a small 'W' and each letter a little larger--finish with a large 'W'. Also see Watch Me Grow.
• I kept my sons stump from his umbilical cord. I let it air dry for months before putting it in his scrapbook. I wrote on the page: "This umbilical cord kept us connected for nine months and although it was cut at birth, I still feel our connection". (Maria)

Baby's 'Firsts'

Calendar pages and ruled pages are a good way to record the first time your baby does something. You can also use journaling boxes with lists of 'firsts'. Some things you can take photos of like the first bath, first solid food, etc. Others you could take a photo on the day it happened or just journal it. Some people scatter 'firsts' throughout a baby album at the time they happened. Others group them together.

Here are some 'firsts' you might want to take note of:

• Large Muscle Development - turns head, holds head up, holds head steady, lifts head when on stomach, uses arms to lift head and chest, sits alone briefly, holds head level when raised to sitting, rolls from tummy to back, rolls from back to tummy, rolls across room, sits alone well
• Locomotion - scoots, holds self in standing position, crawls, pulls up to standing, stands alone, cruises (walks holding on to furniture), walks with help, walks alone, climbs up/down stairs
• Eye/Hand Coordination - eyes follow moving object, reaches for objects, holds toy, reaches for small objects, bangs things, transfers objects from one hand to the other, plays with hands/feet, sucks toes, rolls ball, picks up small object, waves bye-bye
• Communication - coos, squeals, babbles, does raspberries, says mama/dada, understands the word no, responds to simple commands
• Food - first formula/cereal/fruit/vegetable/meal, feeds self cracker, drinks from a cup, uses a spoon
• Sensory Development - focuses on faces, recognizes mother/father, turns toward sound
• Emotion - tears, smiles, laughs, smiles at/plays with baby in the mirror, shows stranger anxiety
• Miscellaneous - sucks thumb/hand, clipping fingernails, bath, special visitors, sleeps through the night, stays with a baby-sitter, plays peek-a-boo, claps hands (plays pat-a-cake), knows object permanence (can find toy if he watches you hide it), feels grass or sand on their bare feet, pets a cat or dog

Baby's Favorites

This can include any of baby's favorite things--such as music, position, person, bottle, pacifier, blanket, toy, food, animal, game, book, etc. You can do a favorites page each year or a page that spans the years so you can more easily observe changes.
