What Else to Put into a Baby Photo Book

By Andy Ainsworth


Obviously, a baby photo book should be filled with pictures. There is a lot that happens within the first years of baby's life. Baby photo books that include more than pictures give an interesting way to look back over the first years.

Baby books don't just commence when the baby is born. Including photographs and documents of the pregnancy, can be a personal touch. Moms should accept the ability to discuss their thoughts, symptoms, hunger pangs, and even the first kick. For the most part first time parents will have a baby shower. They can add the invitation, the guest list and presents list from the occasion. Documenting any gifts baby receives will be enjoyable to review after.

Parents spend a lot of time picking out their baby's name. So why not include the list of runner-ups? Parents may also want to include either the origin or the history of the name they picked. A lot of people find the story behind a name interesting.

As life goes by, so does the clarity of the birth of the baby. Including the birth story in picture book is a great way to retain it for later reading. Parents should add all information from when the baby was born too. Dates, time, place, height and weight are numbers that are good to have on hand.

Adding a little story to the baby photo book can make it stand out from other photo books. Parents can include headlines of events happening both domestically and globally, Icluding the price of gasoline, groceries or even diapers will add some enjoyment to the baby book in the future years.

Cards and mementos can also be included in baby photo books. Clear glassine envelops can help preserve any special documents or birth items. Locks of hair from baby, first tooth and even baby footprints are items that many parents save.

Baby photo books don't have to be filled with just pictures. There are endless possibilities in what can be included. Parents who put more than pictures into a baby photo book are building a wonderful way to look back in time.
