Customer Reviews

Great baby shower gift!

I just bought this book as a gift for my cousin's baby shower, and I couldn't be more pleased! First of all, the appearance of the book is adorable: it has a brightly-colored, eye-catching outside hardcover with really cute graphics (appropriate for a boy or a girl). Inside, the pages are spiral-bound (hidden by the hardcover), making them easy to turn and even easier to write on. The book is set up as told from the baby's perspective, with chapters such as "The World Around Me When I Was Born," "People and Places I Liked to Visit," and "My First Holidays." Most of the chapters are set up with space for writing on the left-hand page and then a spot for a photo on the right-hand, although there are some double pages of text or facing pictures. The written parts consist of a combination of check-off boxes, fill-in the blanks, and some spaces for longer narratives; it covers all of the most important information in a quick and easy format. The photos spaces provide captions to help the user even further--e.g., opposite pages titled "Glad Baby/Mad Baby" and "Yum!/Yecch!" The entire book uses a bright pastel color scheme, with blue, green, yellow, and purple pages surrounded by fun borders and more of the great graphics. This book is definitely more light-hearted and entertaining than the traditional baby record book, and it is perfect for today's busy, on-the-go mom. Highly recommended!

Baby Book

This is a very simple book and easy to fill in. It has 18 framed pages for pictures with great captions such as Glad Baby, Mad Baby, Big Toothy Grin!, Yum!, Yecch! and more. I really liked the list of firsts. (Smiled, Laughed, Held my head up, Rolled over, Slept through the night, Sat up, and Crawled.) These are the most important firsts that you will rememeber as a parent. I also really like the pages How I Grew. It has the first twelve months, and you write down the weight and length. There's lots more. This is a great gift for the busy mom or the mom who just needs a easy book to fill in about her baby. I bought one for my friend for her second child, and she loved it! I loved it to that I bought two more for my sister-in-laws.

My Life as a Baby is a Winner

I received my first copy of this cute album as a gift when I had my first baby. I had so much fun putting it together that I tracked it down for my second and now for my third. Telling the story from baby's point of view is fun and gets mom thinking about how baby would really feel about all the firsts in his/her life. It is an easy album for moms and dads who want to record all the important events that the first year brings, but who haven't joined the scrapbooking craze quite yet. I love this album and plan to have one for each child.
