Baby book scrapbooking is not only fun, but can be extremely easy. It is also a great way to contain memories of your baby in a safe and organized manner. With some simple creativity, you can have a book that will last a lifetime and can be enjoyed by everyone. There are a few basic steps in creating the ideal baby scrapbook

1. You will want to begin with a good assortment of photos. Keep in mind that you will want to use the cutest pictures possible for your photo album. One approach you may want to consider is doing the book chronologically. Begin with pictures of you throughout your entire pregnancy, followed by pictures of the baby’s different stages in life.

2. The opening page can simply be a short introduction which includes information such as the baby’s name, date of birth, as well as the place of his birth.

3. On the pregnancy pages, try to capture the thoughts and feelings you felt while waiting for your baby to arrive. Journal about the anticipation and excitement you felt, as well as your nerves and any other tidbit you find compelling enough to include at the beginning of the baby book. Here you can place sonogram pictures and leave heartfelt and humorous comments regarding food cravings you may have experienced, and other interesting anecdotes. Pictures of your growing tummy also make a good addition to this section of the book.

4. Next, you will want to set aside several pages for baby shower pictures. If you had a couple of different pictures, then you will want to dedicate several pages to this section. Include in your scrapbook a list of any gifts you received. A pocket makes a great place to stash all of the beautiful cards you have received.

5. After the baby shower pages, create a page about your baby’s first day home. Include hospital photos and pictures of you coming home with the baby, walking through the front door for the first time. Include information such as weight, length, and time of birth in this section. Your kids will get a kick out of it as they grow up. Save the hospital bracelet as a keepsake.

6 You will also want to set aside a few pages dedicated solely to journaling. This will give you the opportunity to record all of your emotions and feelings throughout the entire experience. This will help you to remember these feelings and thoughts in years to come. This will also give you the opportunity to cherish the simple moments that made the experience so rewarding and exciting.
