As a proud mother of a child born in my heart I love this baby book & journal. With a few little changes,I've made a book I know my daughter will one day treasure! On the page that says
"the big day" I just added at the Visa & US Consulate exam and added the time of the appointment, her weight and a name of one of the doctors there. On the family tree page, I just added another branch above my daughter's name to acknowledge her birth parents in China. On the "How Much you Grew" pages I chose to use this as how much she has grown since she's been home. Each page has a soft watercolor drawings and there is lots of room, for photographs, and to write down all of your child's wonderful 1st times, holidays celebrated, 1st artwork, a page about mom, dad and siblings. Toward the back there are pages for " Our Hopes" & "Our Dreams", as well as 10 double sided pages to record memories of you on this day.... If I could talk to Beck Kelly and ask her to change 1 thing, it would be to have the last page to say " The Begining" not " The End". Definately one of the best books published!

I have been so impressed by the art and subjects in Becky Kelly's "My Little One". I would describe it as a baby album and journal. Becky's ability to use her art of children, animals, insects and nature to take you away to a simpler time and innocence sometimes forgotten is remarkable. There are beautiful quotes throughout the intricately detailed pages. You are encouraged to write your own feelings as you anticipate your new arrival. The subjects given for you to remember your baby's happenings are fresh and interesting, enhanced by watercolor without distracting you from the purpose of the album. I bought this book only after falling in love with other Becky Kelly creations, starting with greeting cards then sought her out online. I love the words her writer uses and how the art and words dance together to pull us into this beautiful world they created. Recently I invested in 3 of her other books and her 2004 Calendar. Anything Becky Kelly has become the perfect gift for myself and to friends or family. I can't wait to see what's next...
