It’s exciting to see how much a baby can change in a few short months. They gain a personality-quirkiness if you will. I was looking at my niece’s baby pictures the other day. She is thirteen months old now and she doesn’t even look the same way she did as a newborn. I can’t believe she was ever the gangly little thing I saw in those pictures.
Without those pictures, we wouldn’t be able to share laughs about those early days. My niece was so small once that she fit in the basket of my sister’s new chest freezer. They snapped a picture of her sleeping in the basket!
Baby Photo Ideas:
The first year of baby’s life will bring about the quickest changes. Baby will grow from a cute screaming machine into a walking explorer in twelve short months. Capture each moment. As the season’s change, photograph baby outdoors. Introduce baby to the snow in winter and the multicolored leaves in the fall. Show them tulips in the spring and beach sand in the summer.
Holidays during the year represent more photo opportunities. Baby Halloween costumes get more precious every year. Take photos of baby’s first Thanksgiving and Christmas. Dress baby in green for St. Patrick’s Day and pastel colors for Easter. If baby is still small at Easter time, photograph them lying in an Easter basket among the plastic eggs and fake grass.
One way to show your baby’s growth is to take her picture each month with the same stuffed animal. That way, your baby will start off much smaller than the toy and end up larger than it. You can even dress the baby and toy alike for certain holidays for fun.
Baby Scrapbooking Ideas:
To display all of baby’s nuances, give each month a page of its own. Each month should have its own theme, too. Highlight a particular event in that month to focus on with your designs. For example, July’s page can be filled with stars, stripes, and fireworks. Some months may need more than one page.
