Baby keepsake books are a dime a dozen, but they all offer something unique and beneficial for doting parents. I particularly like “When You Were a Baby…” because it’s affordable, simple and your child’s adorable face is seen throughout the book! This book is designed with a one-of-a-kind die-cut hole that enables baby’s face to appear with every page turn (just add a photo), making them the star of the story!
No endless stickers to peel and place, no complicated pockets and bulky compartments. Let’s face it, not all parents have the time or energy for such involved projects. With this book, all you need is a permanent marker. Fill the pages with the loving memories of each milestone: birth, crawling, first self-feeding, first bath, first word, first birthday, and more. The book is durable for little hands to play with too and an easy reference when you want to go down memory lane. $8.95 at www.meadowbrookpress.com.
