The holiday season is here and you want to capture as many memories as possible with your little one. They won’t remember this first, but you will!
- Go through your own baby pictures to see what kind of fun things you did, recreate them if possible with your little one.
- Go visit Santa, if your child is afraid, sit on Santa’s lap with them.
- Watch your favorite Christmas movies and listen and sing to your favorite carols together.
- Build a snowman and place your baby next to it holding a carrot! If you are not near snow, go find a place that does a snow fall and enjoy it without the frostbite.
- Buy a stocking and place them in it under the tree.
- Make molds or trace their little hands and feet. Give them as Christmas ornaments.
- Be your own live nativity scene at a church.
- Make a home video about their FIRST Christmas.
- Create your own 12 Days of Christmas song with pictures and captions – 12 wet and dirty diapers, 11 quirky smiles, 10 steps taken, 9 foods tasted…5 hours of straight sleep…2 eyes gazing at the sparkling lights.
- Bundle up and take a walk around your neighborhood to see the lights and decorations.
- Wear matching pajamas.
- Buy or make a personalized ornament to mark the FIRST CHRISTMAS.
- Start your own holiday traditions and add to them yearly.
- Buy props and stage photos.
- Document, celebrate and capture this magical time. Next year they will be a year older and it will be completely different for both of you!
Enjoy your baby’s first Holiday season!
