Why We Love The Baby Book of You - Memories of the First Year
Capturing memories of baby's first year is such a precious thing to do, one that many of us absolutely love, but some books can cause a bit of worry and maybe don't turn out to be as fun to fill in as it should be.
After the success of The Book of You, I wanted to create a modern version of the classic baby journal for baby's first year, one with inclusivity at its very core, one that was designed with no triggers or worry for a new parent, and one that was fun to fill out.
I'm so proud of what we created and would love to show you some of the highlights of 'The Baby Book of You: A record of your first year'.
CREATED FOR EVERYONE
Keeping inclusivity at the very core of the design, 'The Baby Book of You' makes no assumptions of family or how baby came to be.
These beautiful pages are created for all babies and their families, no matter how they're made up.
PREPARATIONS FOR YOUR ARRIVAL
Fun prompts to fill in before baby has arrived, what was known, along with space for mementos and room to share some good advice you were given!
MONTHLY MEMORIES - MAKE YOUR MARK
As well as the iconic 'make your mark' page, each month asks for favourites which include ‘song’, ‘time of day’, and ‘place to sleep’, along with everything else not be forgotten.
‘The cutest things you do’ along with ‘Your least appealing habits’ - prompts for answers to be read out on special occasions in years to come.
There are no assumptions made on family or firsts, it simply asks ‘Who I am to you’ and ‘Firsts for this month’ - so important to let everyone go at their own pace.
‘My greatest achievements’ as well as ‘Your greatest achievements’ - there is room to capture what life was really like as well as celebrating milestones along the way.
IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS - THOUGHTFUL EXTRAS
There are pages at the back for welcome messages from family and friends, somewhere for everyone important to write a message to the baby and for it to be kept safely along with all those other memories from the first year.
Also, pages for ‘Our world in pictures’ - a place for photos of people and places that matter the most.
