Documenting Baby's FIrst Year

I can't believe my little baby boy is almost ONE YEAR OLD!!!! I won't get sappy [just yet] but I thought I would share a few posts leading up to the big day. One of my friends gave me these adorable monthly stickers when E was born to document his growth. It's been fun taking his picture each month from just a little peanut, to sitting on his own, next it was crawling, then standing up and now walking.

Thanks to pinterest, I found a couple other creative ways to document your baby's first year that I wanted to share [I apologize up front for the small images].

How cute is this? I love the idea of keeping an object in the picture so you can see how big your babe is getting. They took it one step further and put the baby INSIDE of the object [laundry basket]. Genius! {photo credit}

This is such a cute idea too. Choose an outfit and take your little one's picture in it throughout the year. They start out swimming in it and by the end, they are busting out! {photo credit}

With this idea you can get creative. Use letter magnetics, blocks or I've even seen people write something out on a chalk board to document each month. All great ideas! {photo credit}

I love this idea for each year [which means I can start soon and keep going with E!] Take a picture of your baby and then using a program like Photoshop, add text with how old they are and what their favorites are currently or what milestones they are at. A fun way to document them as they grow old! {photo credit}


Have you done something unique to document your baby's growth? Please share, I'd love more ideas!!
