My Life As a Baby: Record Keeper and Photo Album

Summary: As mother of a four month old I find this book great!
Review: Having seen how my mom only partially filled in my baby book (as well as those of my three siblings) I was determined to find a baby book of a realistic size and length.

After much research I bought "My Life as a Baby" off Amazon. Since the birth of my son in July I have found this book great. The info it asks for is not overly soppy like many other books I looked at - but it is cute and covers all the important milestones.

It also gives plenty of leeway and doesn't tie you down in a hugely specific way like some other books. Looking at my own baby book I can see why mom didn't fill a lot of it in - it goes into such minute detail about some things that really don't seem that important!

A tip to mum's to be out there - myself and my friends have all noticed it is very hard to just remember to go and write in ANY baby book (even one this easy) when the wee one does something notable. It can be easy to forget things. I really think it is worth investing in a baby wall calendar too. I jot things on mine most days and then every couple weeks or so transfer it to the baby book. It really works well - also I think I am able to write more clearly in the baby book.

Summary: A baby book I can keep up with!
Review: I bought this book for a pregnant friend and ended up keeping it ( and buying her another one).

It is so cute and uses photos to mark each occasion with captions to help with the writing. I wanted a good book for my second child so he wouldn't feel undocumented the way a lot of younger siblings do. This book made it easy to keep track. And it's fun to read through again!

Summary: Cute As A Button:-)
Review: I bought two of them,because my brother and his wife are expecting twins. I flipped through one and it has charming illustrations,adequate room for pics,although it seemed to lack enough space for writing on some pages. Well,that is if you really like to write. For two (very) busy parents it should do just fine..!

Summary: Adorable!
Review: Not as overly sentimental as some baby books. "Narrated" by baby, who definitely has a sense of humor. Plenty of spots for pictures. If you are looking for somewhere to write long journal entries about baby's first year, this book is not for you. If you want to keep a light-hearted record of life with baby, jotting down milestones without detailing your every emotion, it's great!

Summary: very cute
Review: This book does not look like most journals which tend to be frilly and sentimental. No, this one, like your baby, is just cute and funny and sweet. It has enough space for all the basics~ has room for photos, and overall, is easy to fill out. As a new mom, I have no idea how you could ever find time to fill out one of those big, wordy journals. Seems like so many pages would be left blank, or like you would be scrambling to fill in all the pages (like I had to do with my pregnancy journals) This one is really cute, just short and sweet. I love it and I think baby will too when she grows up.

Summary: I love this baby album!
Review: This book is absolutely adorable! The drawings are so precious and it's not too overwhelming like some of the larger baby books ... it's a fun version of the baby album. My only complaint is that it does not come with the sticky corner tabs that hold photos on the page, so I have to either buy some myself or use some type of glue. No big deal, as I still love this album.

Summary: Very Funny Baby Book
Review: This book takes the approach of being written by baby - not by mom and dad, and is pretty humorous. The one thing that makes it different from other baby albums is that it is a bit small - not a large album. (About 8.5x6in) It takes you through the first year of baby's life and has pages reserved for photos.

Summary: cute but...
Review: This is a cute book and it will hold most of the memories for my child, however, when I purchased this book I had assumed it would be 8 1/2 by 11 (big enough to hold any papers I would also like to keep with it like her birth certificate) however it is not. Only after I recieved the book did I realize that there is a deminsion area and that it will not hold any 8 1/2 X 11 papers. Buyer beware, if you want to purchase a baby record book to also hold other (keepsake) papers that you might want to add then this is not the book for you.
