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.

Summary: Not really a journal
Review: This book should not be called a journal as there is very little space for writing or personalization. It is basically an academic child development textbook that has been broken down into daily reading segments. I found that the segments were very repetitive and not that precise (stating things like "sometime between week 3 and week 15, your baby should be able to do..."). Overall, it was not that helpful for recording memories or learning the developmental stages of my baby's life.

Summary: Baby's First are to be remembered
Review: This book was the best sequel to The pregnancy journal. We loved writing down all our babies first's and all her accomplishments. We were thrilled to find out there was another book that followed call The Toddler Years. Now that book is coming to an end and we are looking for another one to follow for the Preschool Years. We loved the information, the journal and the spaces for toddler drawings and tracing of hands and feet. We have also started to keep the same journals for our second baby and look forward to reading them in years to come.

Summary: WONDERFUL!
Review: When I had my new baby, I was overwhelmed with wanting to learn everything and wanting to remember everything. I quickly discovered that I didn't have the time for that. Since this has both the information on my child's development, and space to write and keep memories, it's perfect! Plus, the spaces they provide for writing are perfect. They're not huge empty spaces, to make me feel compelled and overwhelmed to write a lot of information...just enough to imprint the memory forever. I loved it so much I bought another one for my 2nd child! And I send this as a shower gift (along w/the "first year" journal) to everyone who has kids! A MUST HAVE!!

Summary: Educational and Easy to Keep Up With
Review: When I was pregnant, I found the task of keeping up with a blank journal to be overwhelming. I ended up abandoning it after 10 weeks and have regretted it since. So when it came to keeping a record of my baby's milestones and development I quickly picked up this book. It provides great information that educates parents as to the typical cognitive, social, and psychomotor changes that babies go through. My husband and I both enjoy reading this information. It helps us to recognize and be on the look out for changes in our baby. I love how it offers blank lines for notes every few days. This format encourages me to write down the subtle changes I see in my baby without feeling the need to be too wordy. I love this journal and only wish that I had picked up the pregnancy one as well.
