Summary: Best Baby Journal on the Market!
Review: This books is the best baby journal I've found. The other reviews have accurately described many of its attributes: photo mats, fun illustrations, places to note firsts and prompts for writing down thoughts and feelings. The wide spiral binding also allows for ample inclusion of photos and other memorablia. I'm too busy to create a scrapbook, and this book helps do it for me. The book captures major milestones well. My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed writing and putting photos in our daughter's journal.
(P.S. - This is the only review I've written, but this book is so special that I wanted other parents to know its attributes.)

Summary: Excellent journal for baby boy or girl, first or fifth baby
Review: This is a spiral bound journal with very colorful pages, illustrated with small cartoon animals, but not goofy or infantile looking at all really. There are several vellum paper pockets for mementos, precut frames for your photos and the book is actually built loose enough to accomodate all your memoribilia (unlike some which instruct "paste hospital bracelet here" and then the darn thing won't close flat).What I really like about this journal, other than the artistic design and practical considerations, was that the suggested pages are neither too concerned with minutiae (baby's first spit up, baby's first stool, baby's first visit with my mother's brother's half-cousin) nor too new age-y ("I first dreamed my baby would be a post-feminist idealogue when...."). There are famous quotations about children on every page and many are from the Bible. Also I like that it doesn't assume this is your first baby, since there are places for reactions of siblings. And there is a family tree page for both mom and dad which is nice. If you don't like any of the pages you can always rip them out, since the paper is spiral bound and easy to remove if desired. Highly recommended if you are looking for a cheerful but gender-neutral baby journal.

Summary: Easy to Use
Review: While I admire those who can do it, I'm not a scrapbook person. I rec'd this book as a gift and love the pre-cut frames for photos. It has the right level of detail for me. I won't feel guilty that I was not able to keep up with journaling every little thing. The enclosed frames also make it versatile. If there is a page that you don't want to fill out you can simply cover the page with pictures. I forgot to have the hospital put hand and footprints on the pages so I'm covering the dedicated pages with photos. This book is well-organized and fun (not overly precious or frou-frou). It is a perfect gift for a mom who wants to have a baby journal but doesn't want to put too much time into it.

Summary: I love this Journal
Review: With my first child I went through about 3 baby books until I settled with the Anne Geddes book. However putting all of the bracelts and photos in there it wouldn't stay shut. I am now pregnant and came accross this baby journal. I love it. I bought two, on for the new baby and one to transfer all of my first child information into his. I recommend this journal to anyone expecting.
