I have some ideas, you know, picture with Mickey, I'm probably going to try and hunt down all 50 pressed pennies, etc. I wondered if everyone has their own traditions or things that they do with their first timers...be it children, family, friends. Anyone care to share?

Originally Posted By jstylzz I like the Badge idea. That would be cool. Her grandma has cornered the market on Mr. Potato Head and all the accesories that you can fit in his posterior. We're going down with her, so that will be her domain!

And they did it off the picture so it would be a surprise. That way, no squirmy baby to worry about! Just a thought. And I personally love the silhouettes. I had one done like 10 years ago and it's fun to compare it to the one I have now. What a great tradition that would be to get one done every year and put them on the wall to show how your baby grows up!
