There are so many firsts in the first year or two of your baby\u2019s life that I\u2019m certain we can come up with a very long list. Your baby\u2019s first smile, trip to the park or zoo, holiday, steps, tooth, plane ride and first time to roll over are just a few. I\u2019m sure you can come up with many, many more. And, although I think it\u2019s important to record your baby\u2019s firsts, it probably wouldn\u2019t be practical to create a baby scrapbook layout for each one. Today I\u2019m going to share the top 10 firsts that would be most likely included in a newborn scrapbook along with baby scrapbook ideas for each.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

#1: Baby\u2019s First Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0847.jpg\"<\/p>\n

You probably took hundreds of photos on that very first day of your new baby’s life, right?\u00a0Let’s take a look at\u00a0one quick and easy way to get those photos into baby scrapbook album.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC_0922.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it, you\u2019re not going to have a whole lot of time to create a baby scrapbook album once your little one arrives. One great solution is a Hello Baby Girl\u00a0Fast2Fab Album<\/a>\u00a0or Hello Baby Boy Fast2Fab Album<\/a>. I was able to finish this scrapbook layout quickly and easily by using Hello Baby Girl Fast2Fab\u00a0Predesigned<\/a>\u00a0pages. The layout also includes Hello Baby Girl Paper<\/a> to mat photos, Pastel Pink Letter Stickers<\/a>,\u00a0Hello Baby Girl Slide-Ins <\/a>and Hello Baby Girl Stickers<\/a>\u00a0to dress it up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 2: Baby\u2019s First Bath <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0858.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Getting pictures of a squirmy, unhappy infant during his first bath is not an easy task – even with help from older siblings! Your pictures of your baby\u2019s first bath may not be perfect but you\u2019ll love seeing them in your baby\u2019s scrapbook 10 or 20 years from now!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC_0955.jpg\"<\/p>\n

This layout was created using Hello Baby Boy Papers<\/a>, Hello Baby Boy Stickers<\/a>, Hello Baby Boy Slide-In Pack<\/a>, and Navy Letter Stickers<\/a>. I also borrowed some yellow gingham from the Hello Baby Girl Papers for this layout. I love the way the Hello Baby Girl and Hello Baby Boy papers coordinate with each other, giving you more options for your layouts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 3: Baby\u2019s First Smile<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0854.jpg\"<\/p>\n

It may not always be convenient to take a picture of all your baby\u2019s very first experiences but that shouldn\u2019t prevent you from creating a layout of some of those firsts. If you missed your precious baby girl\u2019s first smile, for instance, use your favorite pictures of her smiling to create a layout. Then note when you noticed her first smile\u00a0in you\u2019re journaling. In the meantime, be sure to write it down! It helps to keep a small notebook handy to record that information until you are ready to include it in an album.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC_0930.jpg\"<\/p>\n

My \u201cAll Smiles\u201d layout was a snap to finish.\u00a0I used Hello Baby Girl Fast2Fab\u00a0Predesigned pages, added a journal box from a Hello Baby Girl Slide-In pack, Mint Letter Stickers<\/a>\u00a0and a few stickers from the Hello Baby Girl Sticker Pack and it was done in no time!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 4: Baby\u2019s First Foods<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0961.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Trying to get a picture while feeding a hungry baby is not easy. Especially when you have twins like this little girl\u2019s mommy and you are trying to feed two hungry babies at\u00a0the\u00a0same\u00a0time! And if you’re using your cell phone to get those pictures, the chances are they will be a bit on the blurry side. Blurry or not, your baby is still adorable and you\u2019ll be glad you saved your pictures in a scrapbook album years from now!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC_0933.jpg\"<\/p>\n

This layout hardly took me any time at all to create using Hello Baby Girl Fast2Fab\u00a0Predesigned pages, Hello Baby Girl papers, Hello Baby Girl Stickers and Hello Baby Girl Slide-Ins. I created a short border and a three button embellishment using the new Button Chain Border Maker Cartridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 5: Baby\u2019s First Tooth (or Teeth)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0874.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Whether your baby cuts just one first tooth or two at a time, you\u2019ll want to get pictures. Since those little teeth take a while to show up, you\u2019ll have some time to get pictures of your baby\u2019s toothy smile.\u00a0Then be sure to create a scrapbook album page with those pictures!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0945.jpg\"<\/p>\n

This layout took just a few minutes to create using an easy, peasy Hello Baby Girl Fast2Fab\u00a0Predesigned page. Woohoo for Fast2Fab pages! I added a Hello Baby Girl sticker, Mint Sticker Letters and some journaling and was done in no time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 6: Baby\u2019s First Crawl<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0881.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s his first attempts to crawl or an advanced crawl, it\u2019s likely that you will want to take pictures and to create a layout for his baby scrapbook. Be sure to have a camera with a fully charged battery close by!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC_0942.jpg\"<\/p>\n

I again\u00a0borrowed the yellow gingham as well as the red print paper from the Hello Baby Girl paper pack for this layout. I also used Hello Baby Boy paper, Hello Baby Boy stickers and Hello Baby Boy Slide-Ins. You\u2019ll notice that I left one photo out of my final layout – there\u2019s really no need for duplicate photos and the space was better used for journaling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 7: Baby\u2019s First Words<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0901.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Baby\u2019s first words are a little difficult to get on film but a fun to scrapbook. Like the cute little boy shown here, a lot of baby\u2019s spend some time babbling before forming actual words that can be understood. Try taking pictures of your cute little darling carrying on a \u201cconversation\u201d with someone. Or simply use some favorite pictures taken at that stage to create a scrapbook layout. \u00a0Then make sure you list his first words on the page.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC_0940.jpg\"<\/p>\n

In addition to the Button Chain\u00a0Border Maker Cartridge and the Word Bubble Punch<\/a>, I used Hello Baby Boy papers as well as Mint Letter Stickers and Navy Letter Stickers to create this page.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 8: Baby\u2019s First Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0910.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Baby\u2019s First Steps seems to be one important milestone that needs to be documented in a baby scrapbook album. I don\u2019t know about you but for me this milestone is met with mixed feelings. I love this stage in a baby\u2019s life – they are so stinking cute when they start walking! But those first steps are also the beginnings of a new stage in their lives where they are quickly changing from a baby to a toddler. The time just goes by so quickly! Before you know it, that cute little toddler will be in kindergarten. Do make certain you get those fleeting moments photographed and scrapbooked. Keep in mind that sometimes it\u2019s more important to get the picture than it is to capture a perfectly photographed image.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC_0948.jpg\"<\/p>\n

For this layout I used the red from Hello Baby Girl papers along with the woodgrain paper from Hello Baby Boy paper pack, Hello Baby Boy Stickers, Hello Baby Boy Slide-Ins, Mint Letter Stickers and Navy Letter Stickers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 9: Baby\u2019s First Birthday <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0920.jpg\"<\/p>\n

I’m\u00a0certain\u00a0you will have plenty of pictures of your little one\u2019s first birthday to create a scrapbook layout with – maybe more than enough to create several pages. Let\u2019s look at one way to create a First Birthday layout using Hello Baby Girl (or Boy) Fast2Fab\u00a0Predesigned pages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC_0949.jpg\"<\/p>\n

This birthday layout was super simple and quick to create using Hello Baby Girl Fast2Fab\u00a0Predesigned pages, Hello Baby Girl papers and Hello Baby Girl Stickers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 10: Baby\u2019s First Haircut<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0914.jpg\"<\/p>\n

If you take your little guy to the barber shop, be sure to get a First Haircut Certificate for your scrapbook album. And don\u2019t forget to take your camera!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0953.jpg\"<\/p>\n

A\u00a0border cut from the pre-printed borders paper found in the Hello Baby Boy paper pack made this layout super simple and easy to create. Add a sticker from the Hello Baby Boy sticker pack and a journal box from the Hello Baby Boy Slide-In pack and that\u2019s it. All you have to do is journal your story and your done.<\/p>\n

I do hope you\u2019ve been inspired to create your own scrapbook layouts to\u00a0showcase your baby\u2019s firsts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
