By Wendy Shand


New parents have great things to look forward to with their newborn. However, some of the greatest of these times are during the holidays. Indeed, nothing is more cherishing and memorable than those very first special times spent with your newborn. Check out these tips for making your baby holidays the best ever.

Most families like to gather together at some during Christmas to celebrate the season. New parents always have a lot to look forward to during this time for showing off their new tiny one to everyone. One great way to do this is by dressing up your baby is a gorgeous Christmas outfit and taking as many photos with other family members as possible. These are the perfect photos for using in a Christmas scrapbook. However, the first picture in this book of memories should be the one of Santa holding your child.

Easter is the time of bright colors and new beginnings. Choose the new Easter outfit for your little one with photos taking in mind. You should also make your own basket instead of purchasing those ones already made. This is especially true for a baby. Select a safe basket and fill kit with bright plastic eggs and stuffed toys. You could also throw in some teething biscuits for treats your baby will love.

Putting together a scrapbook for babys first Easter is a good way to show off the outfit you dressed him or her in for that special first egg hunt. Easter outfits are a part of the tradition that goes along with dyeing eggs and hiding them. The Easter scrapbook can be brightly colored and enjoyable for your child to view in later years.

While your newborn might not be old enough to eat those foods usually served on Thanksgiving, you can make it a special time by including baby is some cool photographs. Using Thanksgiving props you can make is great fun and will help to give you photos for marking the first Thanksgiving Day for your little one. You might consider looking for turkey and pilgrim decorations sold at most department stores for helping to make backgrounds for photos really interesting.

Valentines Day is the day when new parents can have fun with their little one. Making special cards to give to family members including photos of your tiny one dressed in bright red velvet is the perfect way to celebrate this day of love. Grandparents would love to get a card with a photo like this one included in it. This is an especially nice idea for the cards new parents trade with one another.

Celebrating a childs first Halloween can be great fun. If your baby is too small for eating candy and really understanding the activities that are going on, you can still dress him or her up in a comfortable outfit for celebrating. Again, this is a photo opportunity that will help you to have plenty for recording how he or she spent their first Halloween. Allow your child to be close by while you are passing out treats to other children.

Nothing can compare to the feeling of being a new parent. While it can be stressful at times, there are also those times you wish would last forever. Make the most of baby holidays and make scrapbooks albums of every one so you can always go back and relive those cherished memories.
