Ideas For Scrapbook Pages

There will be a lot of firsts in your scrapbook pages, and it is better to categorize them to have some sort of uniformity. They can be according to the months passed by or by the events that happened.

Here are some of the examples of your babies’ situations that you can include:

  • Delivery
  • First family picture
  • Baptism
  • First month
  • First tooth
  • First steps
  • First words
  • First birthday

It’s up to you at what point you stop, but it is highly recommended to leave enough space before your babies become toddlers.
