Baby Sits up for the First Time - Put It in the Scrapbook!

My mother always said that it was important to support baby’s head when cradling them in one’s arms. If you’ve ever noticed, baby’s head will flop back if you don’t. Their neck muscles aren’t strong enough to hold up their little heads. But, baby will try. Curiosity will get the better of them and each time you prop baby up on your shoulder, they will try to look around.
It’s funny. Baby’s head wiggles like one of those bobble head toys and then it falls back against your shoulder. But, the day will come when they begin to push themselves away from the back of the couch or the car seat as they strain to sit up on their own. Pretty soon baby will be turning his/her head when they hear a noise. Can walking be far behind?
Baby Photo Ideas:
Take a few photos of baby from a side angle to show that they are pushing themselves away from the couch or baby carrier. Have a family member or friend sit baby on their lap while supporting baby’s head and back. Tell them to slowly remove their hand so you can get a picture of baby sitting up on their own.
Take a picture with daddy and yourself and baby. Cheer baby on and encourage their newfound bodily control.
Baby Scrapbooking Ideas:
This page would be another place to use silly quote stickers. Mommy or daddy could be made to say something like, “Hurray!” or “You did it!”
Try to find a piece of scrapbook paper that resembles a stadium full of people or, if you can only find an empty stadium, draw some spectators. Or find stickers of cheerleaders to put around the page. Have baby’s pictures showcased in the middle of the page. Give the crowd various cheering quotes to celebrate baby’s accomplishment.
