Reading to Baby - Put It in the Scrapbook!

Reading to baby will familiarize him with words, shapes, and colors. My favorite book for my sons was “Pat the Bunny”. Baby can actually feel bunny’s fuzzy body, ears, and tail. Books like this keep baby’s attention while you read. Picture books are also good “first” books for baby.
My oldest son had a book made of cloth when he was a baby. There were numbers, letters, shapes, and animals in it. If he ever spit up on it all I had to do was toss it in the washing machine. My children loved when I read to them. Story time will provide many shared moments that you and baby will cherish for years to come.
Baby Picture Ideas:
Take pictures of baby being read to by mommy, daddy, grandma, siblings, and whoever else will volunteer. Photograph baby turning the pages or even chewing on the book. They like to help you with the book. I have pictures of my baby son sleeping in the middle of his cloth book and sleeping with the book on top of him.
I laugh at those pictures because it looks like he read so much that he fell asleep! Take photos of baby’s favorite books so one day you can show them what books started them on the road to reading.
You can also do “smart baby” pictures and let him wear a pair of glasses while looking at a book. Get lots of pictures of your little Einstein.
Baby Scrapbooking Ideas:
You could choose a night sky background with a lot of stars. When you know how to read, the sky’s the limit. Create an arch out of the book pictures near the top of the scrapbook page and another arch of pictures at the bottom featuring baby and family reading books. In the center, paste a foam rocket bearing baby’s name reaching for the sky.
