BRILLIANT! Many other baby books left me with the thought, "How in the world will I ever find time to fill in all of these blanks?!?!" This book is perfect! You just write in it when you have time or when something important or funny happens. It takes VERY LITTLE TIME to fill out an entire page, and each page lends itself to recording many notes so you won't forget things later. It is a guilt-free, stress-free, FUN way to record a ton of memories and I know my son, now 10 months, will appreciate all of the details.
What I like:
- Flexibility: You can record a page for any month from 1-24 months. Including quarter, half and three quarters of months.
- Plenty of pages.
- The places on each page for likes and dislikes (which change constantly).
- There is a place for height and weight on each page (which I don't always fill in, but it's nice that it's there).
In the back of the book:
- You can draw in and put the date of teeth as they come in. Too cute!!
- There is a place for recording baby's reaction to first foods and songs.
- There are pages to record the big important hospital info as well as "names we thought of for you" and "what we called you before you were born"
- There is a place to date when baby startstalking, clapping, walking, etc. and a place to record and date first words.
- I could fill this any for two kids at once, because it's so quick.
- It's fun to read and to have family read. It's fun to see how the baby has changed.
- The artwork is cool.
- It's thin and hardback, so it's easy to travel with.
- It skips the things I didn't want to have to fill out in the other books and focuses on your baby's development.
Bummers:
- It only goes to 24 months.
- I wish there were more space for foods.
- Sometimes I can't fit everything on one page...when this happens, I just use 2 for the same age. :)
I also use this to make notes of trips that we have taken or the first time our son was babysat. I plan to supplement this with a simple photo album or a scrapbook if I have time some other year.
You won't regret this buy!
I LOVE this baby book. Colourful and easy to fill in, especially for busy working mom will not feel guilty again. There's envelope to put the baby's hair. Some very cute stickers for baby's mood and many more. Worth every penny. Enjoy this great book.
