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!

Having given birth 6 months ago, I've been on a mission to find a baby book that's simple and quick, but has all the important stats. This book is it. It has one page that repeats with spaces for age, height/weight, baby's disposition, likes/dislikes, notes, and mini-milestones and subject pages in the back for the big stuff (teeth, birth day, first words, developmental milestones, name, etc.). There are also pages for hand and footprints and a picture for each season. The book is compact and the illustrations are really cute and colorful. It also comes with stickers. I know my son will love looking at it when he's older.

I love this book! I received it as a shower present and have since ordered a second (I filled the first and wanted to use it to keep recording-my son is 2 1/2 now and I am still writing in it). I am ordering one for my best friend and a few extras to have for future baby showers. This book is terrific because it encourages you to write brief entries about the every day things you want to remember. I write all kinds of things from milestones, to outings, to firsts, to things my son is interested in. I truly love this keepsake! It makes recording information so easy! I am more likely to write in it because it does not feel daunting, but instead quick and easy!

I got this as a gift for someone, she liked it!
For those who dont have tons of time to sit and transcribe every move your child makes.

It says what it does, it does what it says - fast and fun, and takes the pressure off keeping up with the baby steps, especially for second or subsequent kid(s). Adorable, easy and fun. Worth tracking down.

I cannot say enough about this baby book! It's so easy to use/fill in and I love how I can just write the date and his information on the top of each page and not have to follow some pre-written book that outlines everything for you in a way that may not work for you. Very fun!

This book is a laid back baby book. This was my second baby and I don't have a lot of time on my hands. This was the type of book I could fill out whenever I had the time, plus its really cute.

I appreciated all of the reviews below. I purchased this book and found it to be EXACTLY what I wanted.

Pros
-Compact
-Free format pages
-Simple to use. A few words completes the page to explain the event.
-I've found that I've written a couple of wordy stories I didn't expect to write and this book even had the for that space!
-I LOVE the color design and colors.

Cons
-I simply find it odd that all the baby name and birth info is in the back.
-A couple of the pages in the back could be better formatted, in my opinion. Examples - sleeping should include associated feedings and songs should include space to describe how the baby participated in the song.

I plan to order the same book for my next child. (It would be nice if another cover design or color scheme of the cover was available to more easily differentiate the books for the kids.)

Now pregnant with my second, I realize that time constraints of recording all of those precious and funny moments in babyhood. With my first, I resorted to scribbling on scraps of paper and filing them away in a photo box. Then I found this book, and gave it to a friend (although I secretly wanted to keep it for myself!)...I have since bought over 5 copies for shower gifts (and have ordered one for baby #2!). This book always gets attention at showers too!

I love this book because it's quick and easy for me to fill in. I have been filling it in monthly for my 20 month old son and am ordering another copy for my new baby....due now!
