Baby Learns to Crawl - Get It In That Scrapbook!

On some mornings, I would find my son completely turned around in his crib. I’d ask him how he did it and he’d just smile at me. If we were relaxing in the living room, I’d lay him on a blanket in the floor. At first, he’d hold tightly to the blanket and flap his legs like a fish out of water. As the weeks passed, he could get one leg underneath himself enough to stick his butt in the air, but then he’d collapse onto the blanket.
When your baby gains enough strength to lift up on one knee and then the other, you’ll hold your breath in an effort to keep baby from getting distracted by the sound of your breathing. Then, when baby moves their legs and starts to crawl for the first time, you’ll let out a squeal.
Picture Ideas:
Snap photos of baby rolling over, and trying to bend each knee. Once baby learns to crawl, they will leave the comfort of the blanket and set off in search of adventure. When baby crawls around the house, follow and take pictures. Place their favorite toys on the floor and take pictures as baby crawls over to them.
Also take pictures of baby crawling over to pets or siblings. And, pictures of baby crawling over Mommy and Daddy.
Baby Scrapbooking Ideas:
Decorate your page like a treasure map. You may be able to search out scrapbook paper designed like a treasure map complete with a broken line trail and an “X” to mark the treasure location. Or, create your own map.
Draw several large squares along the treasure route to represent the rooms of your home. Place a picture of baby crawling in a particular room inside each square and label the squares. Connect them all by a broken line to create a trail.
