Another popular method is through baby books that can be found at many retail stores. These books are a bit easier to create, since the pages are already printed out and you can just fill in the blanks. Calendars are a good way to keep track of things you want to record in a baby book or scrapbook at a later date. If you jot down the information or place a sticker on the correct date as the event occurs, it is easy to remember later when you have more time. Simple scrapbooks purchased in retail stores are good for preserving items such as first birthday cards and party invitations.
Rubber cement works well for attaching the cards to the pages since it dries without wrinkling.
It is also possible to remove cards if you decide they should be placed differently. Another fun idea is to include bits of wrapping paper and tags from baby gifts, birthday presents, or Christmas gifts. Kids will enjoy having these little momentos of their early years. Take lots of pictures. Even if you don t have time to transfer them to albums or organize them chronologically, you ll have them to look at later.
