《In the shadows》Baby's First Words
Advertisement
Nothing matches the exhilaration of hearing your baby’s first words. The language development months can be a lot of fun — especially when you’ve been impatiently waiting for the first “mama” or “dada”.
There are a few firsts Satan absolutely didn’t want to miss in his baby’s life. The first gummy smile, the beautiful sound of Elio’s first twinkly giggle, first steps to independence… and, of course, the moment he uttered his first word. He has probably been longing for his baby to talk ever since that first night, when he cried but couldn’t tell him what was wrong. As he frantically tried to feed him, rock him and change his nappy simultaneously, he probably wished he could just talk and tell him what was wrong.
“How fast he grows,” It was a sentence that Alpha kept repeating, but he also said it very often since he was a dad. “Just yesterday, Eli was a little baby staring at me with his big yellow eyes.”
“Today, he is a small, active, headstrong boy who crawls, walks by furniture and slowly moves towards his first birthday. Sometimes I would just want to stop time and enjoy this wonderful period.”
“That is why I try to record every important moment in his life.”
In today’s digital age, photos are more accessible than ever, most have smartphones with which we take photos of our little ones on a daily basis and share them with family and friends. Satan is unlikely to miss anything. But unfortunately, he did not develop these photos and they remained simply on mobile phones and computers, which was a real shame. Think in 5 or 10 years how many of these photos will he have available?
Alpha has been very up to date with photography and has really a lot of childhood photo albums at home. And that was wonderful to him. To him, photos were not just keepers of memories; they were a document of time. See how people lived, what toys were like, what they drank and ate, how they dressed. Without photos it would be forgotten. He also had a video camera so some footage was transferred to a laptop as well.

They made Eli an album, a photo book for the first 6 months and so they plan for the next 6. Inside were all the important events, from the first photo to hanging out with family and friends, the first trips and vacations. They loved these sites where they could make their own photo book. From the cover to every detail, they chose for themselves. Most can now insert code with video content as well. Also a wonderful memory.
Satan developed his favorite photos, of course, and framed them in his home. He always kind of loved those family photos, they gave warmth to the home. Nice and handy were the frames and posters with information about the baby's birth - date of birth, weight, height, baby's first photo. He flipped through Facebook and Instagram a bit; he saw a lot of creatives who turned these ideas into real small businesses.
“My next idea is a box of memories.” Alpha wanted to preserve some specific things he associated with his baby. For example, the baby's first clothes, a blanket, a favorite wolf toy, shoes, a pacifier. He stored it all in a decorative box and created a real little time machine.
They also organized a box of memories into some files by months, so they wrote current events from each month and attached photos related to that month.
Satan also kept memories for months on his e-mail account. One mom told him she had opened an email account for her baby and sent him emails regularly. Also, a convenient way to store memories and current events, the child receives very honest and current messages. Some form of digital diary.
There is also a palm print model. There were sets to buy in a lot of stores.
When Elio got a little older and started drawing, they certainly saved some of the baby’s artwork.
