Book excerpt: The story of "Watching You Grow: A Simple Baby Memory Book" When mom of two Punita Rice (writer of South Asian American Experiences in Schools, Toddler Weaning, and 100 Days of Gratitude) was filling in a page of her younger son's baby book one day, she thought she was going to lose her mind. Because what she wanted was to jot down some notes about what her son liked and disliked at age 1... but the baby book had no room allocated for such matters. Instead, she flipped through ridiculous pages with teeth diagrams and doctor visit records (Because when her son is an adult, maybe a new parent, reading through the baby book his own mom painstakingly made for him, THAT'S what he's going to want to read about in his baby book... Exact dates each tooth emerged, and immunization records. WHAT!?)...and she had to squeeze notes about his favorite books and songs in next to spots designated for descriptions of his dentist's office. (WHAT EVEN ARE THESE BABY BOOK QUESTIONS!?) She decided there has to be a better way.A baby book should not be full of nonsense.Instead, a baby book should just focus on the things that matter in the story of your baby (until they're not a baby anymore... We'll say that's at 13, AND NOT AT AGE 5 THANKYOUVERYMUCH, OLD BABY BOOKS!). A baby book should be a place to record the important stuff from birth until at least 13. And it should be a place to record the memories, celebrations, ans firsts (that can be recorded in an intuitive, chronological order) that matter, without a bunch of clutter. Watching You Grow: A Simple Baby Memory Book "Watching You Grow: A Simple Baby Memory Book" is one of the best baby books for new parents. It's simple, and focuses on helping you keep track of the most important stuff from birth to age 13 (when your baby becomes a teen!). Why "Watching You Grow" is a new kind of baby book Unlike most baby books that include a ton of confusing and unnecessary pages and prompts, this simple baby book gives you what matters: space for recording your baby's important milestones and favorite things and celebrations and firsts... Without a bunch of filler. This baby book was designed thoughtfully by a teacher and mom of two. She filled out two different kinds of popular baby books for her kids and through both processes thought, WHAT EVEN ARE THESE QUESTIONS AND PAGES!?, before designing what she thinks a baby book should be. And truth be told, even this baby book might not have exactly what every mom or dad is looking for (it's not pizza, it can't please everyone), BUT it comes pretty close. What's Inside Here are some of the kinds of pages in the world's greatest baby book... First days at home with the baby Memories from the first few weeks Two page spreads for each month of the first year, with room for a picture, and likes/dislikes Fun "about" spreads (to record memories and firsts and information about your child) for EACH year from age 1 to age 13 Birthday celebration pages for every year with a space for a photo And a page for you to write your child a letter each year Why you should buy this baby book. ..Seriously, there's no other baby book out there like this. (I know, I looked.) The perfect baby book for second time parents (first time parents too, definitely, but they might not appreciate just how much better this is, without having suffered through regular baby books first!). Some of that was a little tongue in cheek but for real: Get this baby book for every expecting mom or dad you know. You're welcome.
