C.R. Gibson B2-12683 Elephant 'Hello World' First Five Years Unisex Memory Baby Book, 64pgs, 10'' W x 11.75'' H

This book has everything you could want and more! I absolutely love it! Beautiful colors. No a picture can not be placed where the Owl is on front cover. It has about mommy and daddy and a family tree page. Lots of different spots for pictures. There’s a place for baby shower and arrival but we didn’t have a baby shower so I will just use those pages to place more photos. There’s a place for the birth certificate, hospital bracelet, handprints and footprints. A birth announcement page with visitors and guests page. A couple pages that tell about the world when your babies born such as national leaders, news headlines, popular events or people, and the price of different things at this time. I especially like the watch me grow charts, Immunization page and never slowing down so I can record the date, age, heights, weight, and percentiles for every doctors visit. There is even a dental page to show when every tooth came in and dental check ups. You can record each month for the first year of memories and milestones and after that it’s every year from first birthday to fifth birthday, Along with all the first along with all the first, including first haircut. It does not provide a pocket for the hair but you can tape a piece of hair to the page. Some of the last pages is about first school days and a place to put school photos. There is funny stories and sweet memories page to add even more as if there wasn’t so much covered already. I really do love this book!

I bought this for my new baby granddaughter, because I feel that every child should have a baby book. It has a lot of pages for writing things down both before and after the baby is born, including 2 pages for baby showers and one for sonograms. There is a page for names and dates for both sets of grandparents, including a few lies for "their story". Pages for noting baby's height and weight, doctor visits, and immunization records (very important, since medical records can get misfiled by the doctors, especially if you move or change doctors). It's a nicely designed book, with plenty of space for photos, and a page for each month of the first year of the baby's life, plus one for each of the first 5 years of life. The book doesn't look either boy or girl oriented; it's just done in pastel colors, so suitable for either. The picture on the front is just a sample picture, and you can slide a picture of your baby into that slot. My daughter-in-law is very pleased with this (and she's having a blast comparing her daughter's first 3 weeks with those of her husband, my son, whose baby book I gave them with this one for the newest member of the family.

Though not cheap, this is a lovely Baby Memory Book. This would make a WONDERFUL baby shower gift if you want to do something other than the standard clothes and toys. I like that is gender neutral and the colors are pretty and subdued. I thought this company's "girl" memory books were kind of ugly to be honest.I ordered this around our daughter's 3 month birthday and wish I had it sooner so I could have documented more things as they happened instead of relying on memory. Once you get it, look all the way through it because there are milestone pages at the end you may want to fill out regularly. Sections include" small pregnancy section, space for sonograms, several pages on the birth story and current events, page for birth certificate, family tree, information on parents and grandparents, "firsts", and milestones. About 1/3 of the page have rooms for photos.

I looked through many baby books and was looking for a few things so I was somewhat picky. I wanted- 1) no branded characters (disney, sophie, etc); 2) baby tracking only, not pregnancy tracking; 3) enough details/guidance to keep track of all the milestones, not just blank pages; 4) not overly gender-specific because I didn't know whether I was having a boy or girl; 5) focus on baby so not going all the way up to school-age.My baby arrived early and I ended up ordering this one after only previewing on Amazon and I have to say I LOVE it. It has all the standard pages to fill in about milestones but also has room for more photos than a lot of the baby books I looked through. The illustrations are very cute and there are some features I really like such as a family tree page and month-by-month summary pages. I have really enjoyed filling it out for my two-month-old daughter and feel the information they have to fill out will provide a great summary to look back at when she's older.

I loved this book for our first baby. It's great quality, with thick pages and lovely images. The text prompts are well structured and not overbearing. I tried to buy a different one for our second baby just to have the contrast, but found the quality was lacking and the text prompts were obnoxious (it seriously asked "how much weight did mommy gain?" ummmm no.) The only pages we didn't use were the immunization log and the growth/ teeth charts-- instead we put in some more photos and cards from family. Overall a great purchase and well worth the cost.

A classic memory book with lovely prompts. I like that it's not a cartoonish theme yet captures the essence of young childhood/infancy. Sturdy pages and cover; it looks like a tweed material with stitches but its not...still looks good though! Each month (1-12) has a page for reflection and each each birthday (1-5) does as well. Dislike the baby shower pages saying who brought what, but either leave blank or be vague if you'd prefer. Pages for vaccines, tooth arrivals, height/weights taken, etc. Recommend it!

Beautiful book. I have a similar one for my baby girl that I received as a gift. It is the best book for the price that I have seen. It is a little dated with places for newspaper announcements. Also, this was for my second child so we had only 1 surprise baby shower and there are a few pages for showers. Would like to see more places for pictures and other things that you can put in the book that makes it a little more individualized. But overall it is a great book. Great quality.
