Memory books can be given as baby shower gifts and will make such special occasions as the baby shower, baby’s first records, physical records, holidays, and other celebration as your baby grows.
It is easy to picture the baby shower memory book as a category to the prelude or overture to baby’s life, and some common decorative elements might include photos of the guests, but also the invitation, a sample of the favors given out to guests, and perhaps a menu or list of the food and beverages served. As with any time you attempt to preserve a memory, the use of sensory detail is your most important tool. Whatever records made of the sights, sounds, and smells will help you evoke the memories of the event in the years to come.
The category of first records includes a space for the baby’s birth certificate and pages to include the foot prints and hand prints that are taken both at birth and even some times at the first and second birthdays. It may also include a family tree reaching back one or more generations, similar to the trees that are historically found in family bibles, but with an accent more on fun and amusement rather than solemn note taking.
Finally, this section might also include hospital records, such as baby’s ID bracelet, and photographs of the baby arriving at home from the maternity ward. Immunization records and early doctor and dental records might some times also be included, depending on the tone and manner set up by the book’s decor and themes.
Also the physical records are similar to first records, but they are of a more immediate and personal nature to the child itself. Physical records could include a first lock of baby’s hair, a keep sake or impression of their first tooth, and a growth chart where the baby’s height and weight can be recorded at regular intervals throughout the child’s life.
Along with the first records above, in this respect the baby memory books actually serves as a very useful purpose in becoming a reference source for parents diligent in tracking their own child’s development. The decoration of this section might some times be comparatively restrained or austere, as its more sober purpose is left to speak for itself, uncluttered with potentially off tone accents or decoration.
Holidays and celebrations might be the most fun category of them all. Baby’s first Christmas, their first Halloween, their first and second birthdays, there is really no limit to all the celebrations you can keep track of. Like the baby shower category pages, these pages can include as many photos, gift mementos, lists and inventories, and special accents as you please.
Especially, for first holiday celebrations, which by tradition and simple human nature are bound to be an extra source of cheer for the proud parent, the category pages are frequently resplendent in a sea of decorations. Finding the room for every thing you wish to include might be a trick, so be careful to discriminate carefully, picking only the details you feel might evoke the strongest memories when you revisit the pages in the future. Many baby memory books are available specially made for boys and girls alike, or to emphasize a family’s faith, heritage, or cultural background.
