All birthdays are special, but a baby's first birthday is even more so because it heralds the transition from babyhood into the toddler years. Mark this occasion with a bit of poetry that can be added to a card, video recorded as a quick speech before lighting the candle on the cake, or preserved on a birthday scrapbook page. Even if your child doesn't remember a thing about the day, you'll have a keepsake to share as you look back together and reminisce.
