Summary: Great baby shower gift!
Review: I bought this book with both babies, and love going back and reading them. I order/ship this book to people either just before they deliver or very shortly after (so they don't miss anything) It's a great gift to pick up on sale, because it's not gender specific.

Summary: Educational and Easy to Keep Up With
Review: I just got this journal for keeping the memories of this very precious first year for my daughter. It is a good companion for scrapbooking. You can look back and remember the milestones and when they actually happened. I like having space for journaling, however, this journal almost doesn't give you enough space sometimes. There is no questions to help you think of things to journal about. There is however alot of little tidbits about Physical, Cognitive and Social growth that your baby will experience this year posted at EACH day...a bit more than I wanted actually. I have books about stuff like that already. I would have rather had a bit more space to write my own stuff. Another thing I didn't care for was the cover, it is not very attractive. Looking back now, I should have gotten "Cradle the Thought, by Tracy Nelson" which I found LATER online.

Summary: a perfect companion to The Pregnancy Journal
Review: I received The Pregnancy Journal as a shower gift from my sister and was delighted to find shortly after the birth of my son, this companion journal. As was with the author's previous work, The Pregnancy Journal, the Baby's First Year Journal is a day-to-day "almanac" of what happens developmentally (sooner or later), in the physical, cognitive and social-emotional aspects of your infant's first year. I love this journal, as I'm the type who likes to have alot of information at my fingertips, and this Journal is text-laden. I also enjoy the delightful "fillers" at the bottom of each page containing a-quote-a-day on childhood by famous people, as well as suggested play activities and other important pieces of information for parents to be aware of, such as safety, nutrition, and healthy habits. Blank columns interspersed throughout gives me the opportunity to jot down my son's "milestones" when I sit down with the Journal. There is also a small open pocket in the back cover for keepsakes. This was a very carefully thought-out and very well-executed project by Dr. Christine Harris. I hope Dr. Harris and her editor has plans for a follow up "Toddler Years and Beyond Journal".

Summary: Not a journal
Review: I recently purchased this book and was disappointed when I got it. In the editorial review it says that you can record your little ones accomplishments. There is a tiny little note section and the only thing that actually personalized the book is you putting in the dates, from birth date through the first year. As a first time mom I want to record everything my son does not see how he is lacking behind at something. This book is a book for a parent that wants to make sure there child is right on time with everything, and as most parents know every child does things at their own pace. I do not recommend this book at all.

Summary: This is now my official shower present
Review: so if you know me and are pregnant, don't buy it - I'll be getting it for you! I love this journal and write in mine every few days, making notes on the interesting or silly things my son is doing, new foods he's trying, new words he's saying, and everything else he's up to. If you're not ordinarily a journal or diary keeper, the structure of having a book like this to write in my help you create a wonderful momento for your child - when he or she is old enough to read, that is.

Summary: A Must Have for New Parents
Review: This book is really a must have for new parents. We found ourselves very nervous with our first baby, Hannah Marie, and having a daily guide to turn to was a very comforting touchstone. It helped give us the confidence that we were really doing fine. It will also give Hannah a wonderful way to look back at what we were thinking and feeling about her when she was a baby.

We've never seen anything else quite like it.
