Your Baby's First Scrapbook
Have a whole scrapbook dedicated to your baby's firsts! Your baby's first scrapbook can document everything from her first day home to her first steps to her first haircut.
First, what happens when you did not have your camera on-hand and you missed some of your baby's firsts? This does not mean you should skip documenting your child's milestine! Click here for a layout to use when you do not have a picture.

The picture is hardly missed!
Below are some other neat ideas for your baby's firsts!
First Day Home
Pictures of baby in the car seat, the house decorated for his arrival or even a shot of dad bleary eyed during the first midnight feeding would work here! Consider scrapbooking your baby's hospital bracelet on this page instead of in a traditional baby book.
First Bath
You can't go wrong with bath photos. Your baby in her first sponge bath or maybe her first real tub bath would make a darling page in your baby's first scrapbook. Arranging photos inside bubbles on the page is a cute way to add to the theme.

First Trip to the Doctor's Office
The first trip to the doctor's office is not always a pleasant one; it usually means your baby's first shots. Take a picture of your baby with the cute bandage the doctor gave him. Be sure to indicate how much he weighed and how long he measured!

First Word
Was it Mommy? Was it Daddy? Or was it your pet kitty's name? What ever it was, it was great and it made you so proud! One idea is to write the word tons of times in different fonts or writing styles on your background page with a picture of your baby pointing at the person, animal or object he is saying.
If you are not comfortable writing your baby's keyword by hand, use a stencil. Or, better yet,
use free fonts and the technique I describe on a seperate page.
First Step
There is no slowing her down now! I think babies go from their first step to running! They don't have time to walk. Placing little footprints on this page of your baby's first scrapbook would be cute!

First Haircut
Sometimes this milestone is the hardest for Mommy! The baby curls are so sweet...even if your baby is a boy! Someday it has to happen! And you will want to make sure you have a few pictures to remember it. You may even want to save one of the curly locks to put on this First Scrapbook page! Use a see through
pocket
to display it.
