Bookworm Series: Princess Baby

Cathy Hale — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 15:00:00 GMT

This curly-haired beauty does not want to be called "Miss Muffin" or "Giggly Goose." Enough with the nicknames! (I'm sure my babies don't like their goofy nicknames either.) She's wearing a shiny crown that glitters on the cover and she dances with a prince. Come on, mommy & daddy, she's "Princess Baby!" Thanks to author Karen Katz for such a wonderful read. Shop Barnes & Noble.

Wondering what kind of book to read to your newborn? Take a look at some simply precious faces in the "Begin Smart Series" book, Faces. Boo-hoo, nite-nite, ha-ha, yummy - your baby will love these funny faces. The book has a rattle attached to keep baby amused and engaged. What fun! Great gift idea too. Barnes & Noble.

Sometimes Pulling Tails is Encouraged

Cathy Hale — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 19:30:00 GMT

In this wonderful book by Matthew Van Fleet, pulling tails is perfectly acceptable. Catchy rhyming verse, interesting materials, beautiful illustrations and superior craftsmanship make this a "must-have" for every household. Unlike other touch-and-feel books, this one can withstand normal use by a toddler. In fact, we've had this book for about two years and it's still one of our very favorites. Makes a wonderful gift too!

A Baby Book – Modern on the Inside and Out

elizabeth leach — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:00:00 GMT

Introducing a modern baby book for biological, adoptive, and non-traditional families. "Baby Baby" is modern on the outside and on the inside. Instead of using the labels “mommy” and “daddy” the word “parent” is used. The events in the book are worded so they can be used for adopted babies as well as biological. For example, the first space for a photo reads “First Glimpse” and can be used for a photo of a sonogram, a belly, or for the baby.

Religious ceremonies are also left ambiguous “A Celebration for You” could be used for a religious or non-religious family and for whatever religion that may be.

The color is gender neutral and the cover is simple - no cutesy stuff. There are 60 pages, including 12 photo album pages, made from acid-free/100% archival quality paper. "Baby Baby" costs $75 and comes with 84 photo corners and a coordinating archival storage box. This is truly a modern baby book. (Dimensions: 9.75 x 9.75 inches)

Keep All Those Precious Memories in This

SunnyChanel — Tue, 06 May 2008 15:02:00 GMT

There must be something in the water here is Babble land. Two of our editors just had newborns and they’ve generously been sharing with you, our dear readers, the trials and tribulations of finding all the perfect baby gear from pacifiers to the best bottle - all very practical stuff and utilitarian things.

One thing that isn’t a necessity but if done correctly, or done at all, can be a great way to store the most important things, your memories, is to acquire and regularly update a baby book. I’ve talked to many a parent of teenagers who are still trying to make time to work on their kid’s baby books. Sadly, I’m on the same track, I have only spent one afternoon, while the baby was napping, putting milestones in her flowery pink baby book (it was a gift). But if I had the beautiful Binth Baby book I’d surely dedicate more time in putting in my babies first this, that and there just to sneak a peek at the lovely illustrations. This hardcover book comes in green keepsake box and has been handcrafted and entirely screen printed (on recycled stock). It’s almost as special as your memories. $110

Baby Love Letters by Canopy Cards: the Baby Book for the Rest of Us

chrisjordan — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 16:02:00 GMT

Baby Love Letters by Canopy Cards puts a new twist on the baby book.

Baby Love Letters would be a fabulous shower gift for the expecting parent.

There are ten cards letter pressed with inspirational sayings marking the milestones in baby's life. The parent writes a heartfelt letter to their baby on each card, slips it into the corresponding envelope and then into the attractive case.

After having many unfilled baby books for my children, and untold amounts of guilt about the blank pages, this is something I think all us parents filled with good intentions could manage.
