Turning One and Why it Feels so BIG!

This week we are talking about why your baby's first birthday can feel so big... and how to treasure it.

It’s just one candle on the cake.

But somehow, it feels like a whole chapter closing.

If you found yourself feeling hugely emotional as you celebrated your little one's first trip round the sun, I'm hear to tell you that you are not alone.

FIRST BIRTHDAY HEART-TUG

When your baby turns one, the milestone can hit harder than you expect.
It’s the memories rushing back — those sleepy newborn snuggles, the first wobbly smiles, the tiny clothes you’ve folded away. It’s the pride in how far you’ve both come… and the realisation that they’re not quite a baby anymore.

A YEAR YOU'LL NEVER FORGET

You might feel joy, nostalgia, even a little sadness - and that’s completely normal. This first year has been a whirlwind of “firsts,” and your heart has been there for every single one.

Keeping a memory journal of the first year can be such a gift to yourself and your child. It's a place to:

Write down the milestones and the little moments you don't want to forget.

Capture the photos that make you smile years later. 

Record the words, feelings, and funny details that might otherwise be forgotten.

Keeping a baby journal such as The Baby Book of You is just so precious. When you look back, you'll see not just their story, but yours too. The love, the growth, and the journey you've shared!

NEVER TOO LATE

Don't worry if you missed out on doing a baby journal, The Book of You childhood memory journal is the perfect follow on, filled out once a year from age one right through to 16!
