Baby’s First Moments to Record

Found on Kalahariresorts.com

You frantically tried to get everything done before the baby came. When the milestone moment day came, you had so many mixed emotions. Now you sit awake nursing your newborn for a couple of months, waking up to cries, and feel very exhausted. The time really does go by fast. You may be overwhelmed with being a new mother, so you forget to write down some of your baby’s first experiences.

Creating Keepsakes – Pass on the Memories of your Baby

What special sounds or sayings does your baby do now, that you want your child to know about in the future? What are some other firsts for your baby, which you want to pass onto your child when he or she is grown? How will your child know what life was like when he or she was born, if you do not record it?
