Why not commemorate baby\u2019s first year with a beautifully framed photo? The options here are only limited by your imagination, but could include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A classy, timeless black and white photo in an elegant frame<\/li>\n<li>A collage of your best photos in a \u201cMy First Birthday\u201d frame<\/li>\n<li>Wood \u201cname frames\u201d cut to match the boy\u2019s name<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Time Capsules<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A quick search online will bring up images of baby time capsules\u2014beautifully crafted and painted wooden boxes in which parents can store treasures from their child\u2019s first year.

Many cake toppers can be personalized with the child\u2019s name, and are proudly displayed for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traditional Wooden toys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s digital world, it\u2019s easy to forget that traditional toys can still hold a child\u2019s interest. Sturdy wooden toys take a beating from even the most rambunctious boy and come back for more. Building blocks are an excellent example, but you can also find wooden trainsets, pull along toys, play carpenter\u2019s sets, and ride-along wagons. Just be sure to check the size of any wooden parts for safety\u2014at one year of age, more than just birthday cake is likely to go into that mouth!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Growth charts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By their first birthday, children are either walking or very close to it.
