	Baby’s Health
	If pregnancy wasn't enough to worry about, now you have a whole separate little person to look after.
	Baby Needs
	There are so many things you need before your baby is born, we thought we would list them for you. Take stock of the things you will need for baby, and remember that SmartMomma's store can help you with many of these needs!
	Behavior
	As your baby changes and grows, you will notice many new behaviors. Your baby is developing a personality of her own. Along with this exciting time comes some uncertainty, as you adjust to your baby's behaviors.
	Bonding
	You've just found a new love in your life. Over the next few months, this love will grow and grow, as you witness his first smile, his first belly laugh, and his first steps. Cuddle your baby as often as you can. Before you know it, he will be a toddler on the go!
	Infant Development
	See how your baby is developing month by month.
	Nutrition
	Keeping baby healthy goes hand in hand with your baby's nutrition. Whether you're breastfeeding, formula feeding, or moving on to table food, nutrition is key to giving your baby a head start in life.
	Play
	Play time for baby is a time where she can learn such skills as lifting her head, processing verbal cues, and learning about the world around her. The more you interact and play with your baby, the faster her intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development. So play hard mom!
	Safety
	Gone are the days of reckless abandon before you had kids. Now you worry every time they fall down, cough, or even look at you funny. While it is important to promote safety with baby, remember that spills will happen. With proper planning, you can minimize many dangers in baby's world just by using good old fashion common sense.

Document Those Moments
Babies and toddlers can be very tiring, especially that first year. Lack of sleep, busy schedules, and crying babies are enough to overwhelm anybody. It’s easy for that baby memory book to get lost in the shuffle of everyday life. If you don’t have time to track when Junior got his first tooth, document it in pictures or video instead. It’s never been easier to document our children’s lives. Now with scrapbooking and Digital Photography, catching memories is fun! Scrapbooking Scrapbooking has made a comeback in American culture. For those of us who have even an ounce of creativity, this method of recording our family’s lives is an art form. Scrapbooking is kind of like sticking your photos in a photo album, but much more artistic and warm. Think quotes and textures, materials and mementos. If you are interested in finding out more about scrapbooking, check out these books on scrapbooking and visit your local craft store for all the supplies you will need. Digital Photography Digital Photography has never been cheaper. You can find a decent digital camera for under $200, and developing film is no longer needed. Now you can either download pictures and order prints online from sites like KodakGallery.com and Walmart.com. OR you can buy a Photo Printer and print your own pictures at home. Take these prints and put them into your scrapbook! Digital Movies Another way to document baby’s first year (and subsequent years) is by way of digital movie. Most Digital Cameras have a short video setting, where you can take videos of baby’s first steps. At the end of the year, take your collection of digital photos and short movies and make a DVD of baby’s first year set to music. Conclusion So in between feedings and diapers, remember that this time with your little baby will pass quickly. Soon, she’ll be off to the prom, and you’ll have the pictures to prove it!
