This is what the author has to say about this book:
"...low-maintenance and pressure free, wise yet whimsical way to capture all the milestones and special moments of your own special family."

I LOVE that! Who has time these days for elaborate anymore?

I also LOVE that the first thing this book has you record is how you and your spouse met...with a "fill in the blanks!" What a GREAT keepsake for baby!

You will then go on to write about how you felt when you found out you were expecting and how your spouse felt.

There is a place to tell about your cravings and "which of the seven pregnant dwarfs were you" :)

* Adventures of the expectant parents
* Making space for baby
* Gender predictions
* Places for pictures
* Games to assign baby duties
* And a first letter to baby

All this BEFORE the baby even comes...

Then you have spaces and fill-ins for:

* The birth experience~ including hopes and feelings
* Hindsight~ Do's and Don'ts of Childbirth
* Baby's Name
* Baby's Feature Match w/ if you were a baby animal, you would be...
* Baby's First Month
* Diaper Drama
* Other Baby's Firsts
* And MORE!

Spaces for special moments, fun moments, and even silly moments this book will take you through baby's first 2 years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I LOVED the "Now and Then" section....here is a sample:
"When we were two we liked to:
[ ] Sleep in on weekend mornings
[ ] Get up early and see the sunrise
[ ] Stay up to chat into all hours of the night

NOW
[ ] We're happy if you sleep until 5:00 a.m.
[ ] We're happy to go back to bed for a morning nap when you take one.
[ ] We get to stay up chatting into all hours of the night because you're up anyway.

WONDERFUL BOOK!
PERFECT GIFT FOR YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS EXPECTING!

Capture those precious milestone in this FUN, AMAZING book!

About the Author

Jill started writing about parenting after her daughter was born in 1999. How else could she do telephone interviews while her children screamed and set fire to the apartment?

Her first assignment after her son was born in 2003 was helping the New York Times cover the New York City Marathon. It was an all day assignment so technology came to the rescue. She brought her laptop, digital camera, tape recorder, cell phone and breast pump. The marathoners thought they were up for a challenge but try pumping in Central Park on Marathon Sunday when you're surrounded by 35,000 people.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!
CUTEST STORY!
PERFECT FOR HALLOWEEN!

Gus has a problem...he can't figure out what to wear for Halloween.

For you see his dad wears a "fish" costume for work and his mom wears a "chicken" costume for her work.

When Gus is at the dentist he realizes that the dental assistant wears a costume/uniform and so does the dentist.

Looking around he sees LOTS of costumes/uniforms.

So why is putting on a costume for Halloween something special if so many people put on a costume/uniform everyday...

Because of this Gus has decided that HALLOWEEN STINKS!

See how is friends and parents come to his rescue...it's a Costume 911!

A VERY CREATIVE, FUN TALE!
CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT THIS BOOK!
GRAB A COPY AND SHARE IT FOR HALLOWEEN!

Lots of special effects for little fingers to click in the ebook :)
