Baby's First Year Milestone Journal and Nursery Banner

Who can resist the desire to capture every moment of baby's first year? On the other hand, how many parents have the time and energy to document more than a few highlights of those eventful first months?With this in mind, purchasing a baby book for someone presents a challenge. You want to give a special gift that looks and feels like a substantial keepsake, but you don't want to offer something that is too daunting to fill out. Lydia Ricci has solved this conundrum with an ingenious solution that matches low-maintenance memory keeping with high-end design. Encased in the thickly padded book jacket is a 12-panel accordion-folded book (each panel representing one month of baby's first year). Also included are sheets of stickers featuring baby milestones (first full night of sleep, first smile, first tooth, first step) and even a few milestones for mom and dad (first post-baby date). When baby says "dada" on month 8, the proud parent simply applies that milestone sticker to the appropriate month. There is also room for one 4 x 6 photo on each panel. The result is a highly visual record book that is easy to fill out, but looks and feels like a significant keepsake.Another twist: this journal also does double-duty as a nursery decoration. The accordion-folded panels actually slide out of the book cover and can be unfurled as a long banner that displays the chronology of baby's first year on the nursery wall.Lydia's trademark illustration and style and color palette is fresh, appe
