Tip of the Week: Holiday Traditions

As new parents we can't wait to celebrate the holidays with our child! However, it is important to realize... they won't remember much of it. Spend your holidays focused on creating new traditions, and not necessarily making memories. Here are a couple of tips to help you get started:

1) A holiday card featuring your baby is a great way to introduce your new child to friends and family. As your child gets older, these photo cards also keep them up-to-date on the growth and milestones your little one reaches each year.

2) The holidays are the perfect excuse to go wild and dress your child up in the most over-the-top outfit you've had your eye on. Get them fluffed, styled and accessorized for the ultimate holiday photo shoot!

3) A personalized stocking with your child's name on it is something that you will hang and treasure for years to come. It's worth the investment!

4) Toys are great, but your baby will probably have more fun playing with the paper than with the toys themselves. In this case less is more. Take the opportunity to put money into a savings account for college. If you want to give them a toy or two, wrap up something of yours that your parents saved that you can pass down to your child. This will be something that will be truly treasured, remembered and appreciated.
