DIY book for babies

Babies loooooove to look at other babies and kids. So, when my son was little I filled an 8x8 scrapbook album with pictures of babies. I took old parenting magazines and cut down the pictures to fit the album sleeves. He loved it! Here's a few suggestions when making this:

• Find babies showing different emotions or expressions (ie: crying, smiling, staring)
  
• Also include babies doing different activities (ie: sleeping, eating, playing, etc)
• Cut out extra pictures to rotate in the album so your baby doesn't tire of it
• Make an album of just family members and close friends
  
• Most important: talk about the babies in the pictures, about the feelings, or what they're doing in the picture.

I guarantee your baby will love it! And best of all, it's cheap!
