5.0 out of 5 stars As mother of a four month old I find this book great!, November 17, 2003

Having seen how my mom only partially filled in my baby book (as well as those of my three siblings) I was determined to find a baby book of a realistic size and length.

After much research I bought "My Life as a Baby" off Amazon. Since the birth of my son in July I have found this book great. The info it asks for is not overly soppy like many other books I looked at - but it is cute and covers all the important milestones.

It also gives plenty of leeway and doesn't tie you down in a hugely specific way like some other books. Looking at my own baby book I can see why mom didn't fill a lot of it in - it goes into such minute detail about some things that really don't seem that important!

A tip to mum's to be out there - myself and my friends have all noticed it is very hard to just remember to go and write in ANY baby book (even one this easy) when the wee one does something notable. It can be easy to forget things. I really think it is worth investing in a baby wall calendar too. I jot things on mine most days and then every couple weeks or so transfer it to the baby book. It really works well - also I think I am able to write more clearly in the baby book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby Book, February 24, 2006

This review is from: My Life as a Baby (Record Keeper Photo Albums) (Spiral-bound)

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.

I bought two of them,because my brother and his wife are expecting twins. I flipped through one and it has charming illustrations,adequate room for pics,although it seemed to lack enough space for writing on some pages. Well,that is if you really like to write. For two (very) busy parents it should do just fine..!
