A thoughtfully designed Modern Baby Book that mixes journaling with photo memories and record keeping. This Baby Book is the perfect hybrid between a traditional baby book, a photo album and memory keeper. You are going to love filling in this keepsake. And I say easy because I spent almost 8 months planning and designing this book to be just that; easy and fast. Everything is clearly laid out making it not a chore but a delight to use and something you can be proud of.

This book is intended to document the first year of your child's life all the way through to the first birthday.
Busy Moms and Dads, I understand the struggle of trying to preserve you child's memories when all you can think about is how you are getting dinner on the table. My hope for this book is that it makes it easy to quickly jot down those moments so they are preserved forever.
Our Baby Book was designed for ANYONE expecting a baby. We know that Families consist of more than just mom and dad and we embrace that in this book. Their no mention of boy or girl, Mom or Dad, or Holidays. This makes our book truly universal for our international friends and all families alike.
We have several cover designs to choose from. Gender specific or gender neutral. We’ve recently added some lovely foiled design options as well. Our covers have been re designed based on customer feedback. Our covers are very customizable. Even if you don’t know your Child’s name or birthdate yet, we can still make your book special and personalized the way you wish.
This book features a lovey floral pattern and colors cannot be altered but feel free to choose a different name color if you wish by giving me that info in the notes box at checkout.
We also have the cutest Wooden Milestone Photo prop set that would work perfectly with our Baby Books. Check them out!

There is a style board photo in the listing that shows you the colors, patterns and fonts used throughout the inside of the book for your reference.
