Baby Book

[My sister's princess]

Happy Friday Everyone

I am very excited that I am going to be an Auntie in November

As you can see from my user name, my sister and I are very close, and after a very nice discussion ( I didn't want to step on toes!!) she has asked that I make the baby book (she isn't "crafty")

I have agreed, and she has started sending me pictures (belly sonogram) and I am getting info from her (cravings, tired level etc.)
(she was given the option of me just making her pages, and her putting the photos and journaling in, but she is convinced that she isn't crafty enough to even do that )

So my question for you all!
I want to get ahead so that I can have some of the pages ready to go when she has the baby, so I can get them to her as soon as possible. Can you all give me some newborn page ideas

Such as:
The first family photo
The first bath
Coming Home.....

"Crib" is sort of tongue in cheek, like MTV Cribs, her house

I'm working on my newest son's baby book and redoing some of my oldest son's baby book. I read the list above and might have missed something; sorry if anything I mention is a repeat.

Don't forget
1 month, 2 months, 3 months etc...
Birth Photo page
Tummy Time
Not only pages for first Christmas and Easter but Santa and Easter Bunny photos pages
Big brother/sister page
learning to crawl


I always take photos of the 1st time my child is in the walker, highchair, swing, bouncer, playmats etc. I like to scrap and journal his reactions to a new environment.

I also make a page of the baby with my OB/GYN and the nurses that took care of me throughout my pregnancy. They are very important to the process

I'm sure there is more I can think of but my 6 month old wants to eat NOW lol

Something that I did in both my kid's scrapbooks was to scrap a "Welcome" page using the birth announcement. For both kids I created and ordered a super cute announcement online and sent them out, reserving at least one for myself. The nice thing about scrapping that is not only do you have a permanent place to keep the precious memento but also the styling of the announcement itself makes a no-brainer scrap page (just echo the styling). I like no-brainer- Im one of those people that spends several sessions agonizing over where to start before even picking out what paper I want to use
