10 Personalized Handmade Ornaments for Baby's First Christmas

Every Christmas I give each of my children a new ornament or two to signify the year in review. The ornament oftentimes reflects an interest or activity they took up over the past 12 months, or maybe it depicts a special place or event we attended together. My hope is that when they become adults and have their own tree to decorate, they would have a solid collection of personalized ornaments from their childhood to fill the branches of the tree.

But out of all the ornaments I’ve given over the years, I have four favorites I cannot wait to unpack each holiday season. Yes, I’m talking about the “Baby’s First Christmas” ornaments.

I’ve rounded up my favorites, and am excited to share a few beauties with you, including my baby Paul’s first ornament.
