Product Description

The first year of a baby's life is a wondrous time, with each day bringing new changes and emotions. This journal goes above and beyond the traditional baby book, recognizing the journey that mother and child embark on together. Guided prompts throughout allow a new mom to record all the precious moments of baby's development, and also to reflect on what these milestones stir within her. There's also room to add pictures and other mementos.

About the Author

When she's not chasing a two-year-old, managing the social calendar of a third grader, or rearranging her furniture, photographer and author Tracey Clark can be found with a camera and keyboard close at hand. She lives in southern California with her husband and their two charming daughters.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, October 12, 2005

By	Lisa Wheeler-Duff (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is beautifully laid out, thoughtfully and tastefully written. It is a baby book which encourages thoughtful reflection and feeling far beyond simply pasting pictures and jotting down when baby did what. Of course it leaves plenty of room for pictures (as the author is also a photographer, with rich displays of her work throughout the book accompanied by touching quotes)and all the details of baby's firsts.
The book is durable and easy to flip through with its spiral binding. A great gift. All in all one of the lovliest baby books on the market!

4.0 out of 5 stars A few too many pages, July 25, 2005

By	H (anywhere) - See all my reviews

I received this book as a gift when I was pregnant...I do have a lot of good things to say about it. It has a very clear format and a lot of options. In my opinion there are a few too many pages in it...there are like 30 pages for ultrasounds and prenatal visits...I just didn't have that many things to say...You go and have an ultrasound and you start gaining weight..you can only write that down so many times!
The book does have many pages for thoughts from friends and spaces for pictures and ideas for the nursery as well as many pages for the baby shower. It's worth the money definitely! There are some pages in it as well for writing a letter for your child to read years down the road...i just love that idea!

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT FOR SINGLE MOM, April 2, 2009

By	Monica B. Coleman "Monica Brooke" (Atsugi, Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this book. It is so beautiful and it never mentions daddy. There is so much room to write and the quotes are so sweet.
