BLOG CANDY  I need ideas for Baby First's... (First Tooth...First Step...First???) I want to make some tags for Jessica to use with this can so all she has to do is write and drop in the can. Leave me an idea for a Baby first to this post on my BLOG by Midnight tonight Jan 3rd 2009 and be entered to win a Set of 8 Thank You Cards.

POEM on Lid of Can

Baby books are great ideas,
but sometimes you're too busy.

Living with a little one
can put you in a tizzy.

Milestones pass too fast at times
to find the proper page.

So, jot a note of each event
with date and baby's age
like "Took 3  steps on May 1st
or teething-5 December"),
then drop it in this memory can
to help you remember.

Until Tomorrow...STAMPIN in the SON!!!! jenni

I always give a paint can to my friends for their presents. There are many pictures on my blog. Anyways, I include a toothbrush - for the first time they brushed their teeth. A spoon- first time they ate ... washcloths for first bath.
nail trimmers - fir first nail clipping.

I have a bunch more, I will email them to you.

We have some adopted babies in our extended family ~ a wonderful dynamic.
first time rolling over, first word, first sentence, first haircut, first lost tooth, first sleep through the night, first trip (outing) somewhere, first kiss, first time saying Momma or Dadda, first pet, first tooth, first stroller ride, first of seasons, first rubber boots, first shoes

If it is an open adoption there could be first meeting with birth mom/family/sibling if applicable

Have fun!
