You and baby have made it together one full year. It’s hard to believe that your baby is walking, eating table food, and beginning to speak. Baby has developed a unique personality during this year and is not afraid to express it.

Now it’s time to celebrate the last twelve months. From one mother to another, don’t make too much fuss this time around. To baby, their birthday is just another day. Decorate with that thought in mind. The first birthday is more a celebration of baby than a celebration for baby. Throw on your party hats and blow out those candles!

Baby Photo Ideas:

You must have a picture of baby wearing a party hat. It doesn’t matter if baby snatches it off later. Snap a picture of baby with each party guest. Randomly take photos of baby interacting with all the new people in the house.

When cake time arrives, let daddy sit at the table with baby. Take a picture of the beautiful birthday cake before and after you light the candle. Take a wide shot of all the party guests singing “Happy Birthday” to baby. As daddy shows baby how to blow out the candle, keep the cameras clicking.

Baby can help you with the present pictures by ripping the wrapping paper off.

Baby Scrapbooking Ideas:

Scrapbook paper with a background of balloons will do. Use a glue stick to make streaks on the sides of the page. Shake birthday confetti on the page and pour off the excess. Crop the party pictures into big squares.

Cut photos in the shape of balloons, cakes, or the number one.

Create small bows from baby’s wrapping paper and put one on top of each picture to turn them into presents. The title of this page would be “Baby’s First Birthday”.
