Baby’s First Memories

Baby’s First Memories

Baby’s first memories and milestone moments are so important to save. Take photos of baby’s first memories. Record videos of their first moves, sounds, or facial expressions. Life is so precious. No one ever really remembers the first few years of their life, so record it for your baby.

Save all of the sentimental items that describe what life was like for your baby. You can even have family and friends write a “Message to the Future” letter to the baby, making predictions about what they will be when they grow up. Talk about what you think the world will look like 20 or 30 years from now. Do you think there will actually be flying cars in the future, when your baby is an adult? Answer other fun questions like the following about baby’s first memories, and save the answers in a decorative, baby time capsule seen here.

• What was baby’s first sign of labor? Where were you at the time?
• What was the first outfit baby wore? Take a photo of your baby in this outfit, to save forever. You could also save the outfit in the baby time capsule.

Baby’s first memories and moments are important to treasure forever. As we get older, we tend to forget the little details to special days. So, take the time to answer these questions and save everyday stories in a baby time capsule. You will not regret it, when that baby time capsule is opened by your child, when he or she graduates high school, for example. Have a baby time capsule opening ceremony party with friends and family, as you all reminisce when it is opened.
