By 6 months of age, your baby is starting to recognize faces [other than just mom & dad] and this is a big excitement for them! It's helping them with their fine motor skills and pattern recognition.
A fun way to help baby take advantage of this new skill set is to make them their very own photo album. You'll need to buy a small photo album [typically hold 4X6 pictures, one photo per page]. You can buy one that they make specifically for babies like this Sassy Look Photo Book or the Manhattan Toy Photo Book. Or you can also find cheaper [non-baby] photo albums at Target, Walmart or even your local dollar store that will work just the same for this project.
Once you have the photo album, fill the pages with pictures of people in your baby's life [mom, dad, grandmas, grandpas, aunties, uncles, babysitters, the dog!] and also include a picture of your baby. Have extra pages to fill? Snap pictures of their favorite toys, or familiar objects like a ball, tree or an apple.
This will be a fun book for you to read with your baby and point out all the familiar faces. Once they get a little older, they will be able to recognize the people on their own, which will be such a delight for them. This book will instantly become a favorite!
