What to write to an unborn baby in a book? When a baby is born, parents want to make them feel special. And more often than not, they are trying to find the best way for this.
Some of them come up with various creative ideas and some just go online or ask around to find something that fits their needs.
Nowadays there are many things you can do to make your child’s life better but one thing seems like it will never get old – birthday books!
They allow parents (and other people close) to send wishes and good thoughts into the future by writing some words down on paper which makes these messages last longer than if they were given verbally only.
So what kind of message would you write? Well, here we have gathered 20 beautiful quotes about babies that will help you get inspired!
“You are never too small to make a big difference.” – Unknown
“A baby is something extraordinary; a tiny human being who arrives with the message that life will go on.” – Leo Buscaglia
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and let it come back to you.” – Dale Carnegie
“Babies are like little suns, bringing warmth and light into our lives.” – Nikki Giovanni
“When you hold your baby for the first time, know this: You have done something miraculous. Something that nobody else on this earth could do.” – Jeffrey Gitomer
“All babies are miracles. But yours is the miracle of miracles.” – Unknown
“A baby’s cry is precisely as serious as it sounds. If you have ever heard one, then you know what I mean by this.” – Edward Gorey
“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller and a home happier!” – Author unknown
“The first breath taken after delivery is a gasp of surprise at all that has just happened.” – Linda Ellerbee
“Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.”- Rabindranath Tagore
What do you write in a keepsake book for babies?
Here are a few ideas:
– A family tree to show the new baby how he is connected to his ancestors. You can draw this out in pen, but if you want to do it online, several genealogy sites offer free printable forms for creating your family tree! Just search for “family tree” and see what comes up first.
Be sure not to include any sensitive information such as addresses or phone numbers on these pages though; they may get lost along the way.
It would be wise to just keep them blank where possible until someone fills them out themselves at some point later down line (i.e., when grandma gives their cousin Frank old photos with contact details attached). These books will most likely be filled out more as the child gets older anyhow.
– Baby’s measurements! This can be fun because babies grow so quickly in those early months and years. You can track their weight, length, and head circumference over time to see how they are growing. Just make sure you have an accurate scale and a measuring tape handy! (or ruler)
– Photos of course! And if your baby is anything like mine was, you will want LOTS of photos. Ones from when they were born, first smile, first steps, etc.
On each page, you could include a little caption or story about what’s going on in the photo. It’s also really fun to add ultrasound scans and other mementoes from your pregnancy journey.
– Important dates! Some things that might be fun to include are: when mommy and daddy met when they got married/had their first child together (if applicable), baby’s due date/birthday, etc.
I also like adding in holidays as well-there is always something special happening around those times of the year so it makes sense why babies love being born during them!
You could even add in what was going on with world news or popular culture at the time of these events…it will be great for reminiscing later down line!
Just remember not to get too personal because this book may end up getting lost or given away before long; just stick with facts about how each event changed your life forever.
– Doctor’s appointments! My favorite part about keeping a baby book is seeing how much my little one grew from birth to now. You can document each doctor’s appointment with notes on what happened during it, along with any immunizations received or questions asked by the paediatrician (and their answers!).
This may seem like overkill but trust me: when they get older then you will have so many memories stored away that will make them smile every time they look back at this keepsake of theirs.
– A letter to Baby! Have mommy and daddy sit down together before writing anything specific in this section because we all know how different people think differently!
Then take some time thinking about what you want to say. This could be a yearly thing, where every year on baby’s birthday they get to read a new letter from mommy and daddy. It will be so special for them when they are older!
You can talk about anything you want in this letters-from what your hopes and dreams are for the new little one, to funny stories of things that happened during the past year. Just make sure it is heartfelt and genuine; babies can tell when we are faking it!
