mother and baby

We know how incredible it is to watch your little one grow up so quickly and change every day right in front of your eyes.  Before you know it, your baby will be trading in the bottle in for a sippy cup and will be crawling towards you! Many parents will want to remember these sweet, fleeting moments with a keepsake, such as a lock of their baby’s hair, a favorite toy or an outfit worn on a special occasion.

Recently we asked parents to share with us the precious baby mementos that they plan to hang on to to remember their little one’s stages. They revealed their most treasured keepsakes on Facebook and Twitter.

Brittany told us, “For my now 3 yr old I held on to my favorite outfits of hers and will be making them into a quilt.”

Theresa said, “All the handmade items that my loving family and friends made! They are so special to me!”
