I also take the time to get those all important photos printed and put them into the correct albums, in order of when the events occurred, for me this makes it all unfold as it happened. There is nothing better than building up a collection of albums and then having a loving flick through every now and then. I personally think it will be nice for Leo to see his Mummy and Daddy before he was even a twinkle in our eyes!
Obviously I also blog, but what other ways are there to preserve and freeze those special moments for the whole of eternity? Birth, First Smiles, A Baby's First Roll, Crawling...Walking! How do you keep such memories? Well you could capture them like this:
- Baby hands and footprints in clay (You could also whip up some Salt Dough and make the casts in this!)
- Pregnancy Cast (Where you can have your baby bump casted and set in clay, who wouldn't want to remember there bump!?)
- Framing Baby's First Shoes.
- Professional Photo Shoots.
- Blogging.
- Scrapbookery.
- Photo Albums.
- Home Videos.
- Emails (maybe set up a email account for your little one?)
- Fingerprint Charms and Jewellery.
relive those special moments in time. Catch it, freeze it and keep it.
We went to her shop on Friday 3rd February 2012 when Leo was just 7 moths old, and his finger prints were taken on clay, this was done while Leo was fast asleep and dreaming in his pushchair. He was none the wiser...even when the prints had been completed!
I have just today picked up the finished items and they are just fantastic, Leo's 7 month old finger print is now frozen in time forever. Leo is going to continue to grow and grow, but that tiny little print that was taken on Friday the 3rd of February 2012 is now set in Silver for all of time.
Even as Leo grows and changes, I still have my Heart Pendant with a finger print from his baby days.
This is just the most amazing gift, it is so very personal and really captures that one moment in time, that otherwise would have passed by without being noticed.
So do any of you have such an item of jewellery? or any other ideas on how to capture such moments in time? If you have any further thoughts I would love to hear from you.
