Little Rainbow

Okay, so I absolutely love this baby book, and I am not sure what other people feel is lacking from it. The artwork/imagery is gorgeous and appealing to look at, which is the first thing that I noticed about this book. My firstborn's baby book was a gift given to me, and I have to say, this baby book beats it for so many reasons (starting with the beautiful artwork). My firstborn's baby book was all pale blue and white - very boring to look at even after filling it out and adding pictures and stickers. I did not like the set up of the book at all. THIS baby book has a great format. The book starts off with some simple stuff like a picture of the ultrasound, how far along you were in pregnancy during the ultrasound, a picture of mama's belly, who you first told about the pregnancy, etc. The space for all of the information for when baby is born is simple and adorable, and there is a big page where you can include foot prints and hand prints. There's space to include a birth announcement, hospital bracelet and a picture of the baby's new home. All of the months (e.g. "1 Month," "2 Month," "3 Month," etc.) are back to back pages which I LOVE, because they are all in one place. I can only imagine how cute it will be to flip through these pages and see the growth of our child. Each month has a few things you can write about, such as "We'll never forget..." "You love..." "You don't like..." "You can..." Very simple, but some nice stuff to jot down. Someone mentioned that the spaces for the pictures are too small, so much that said person got very upset. I have to say that I completely disagree. The spaces given for photos are pretty generous, and much larger than I have seen in other baby books. In my firstborn's baby book, the spaces for the pictures were so tiny, at least half of the size of what you are given in this baby book. There is a page for your baby's favorite things, such as: song, cartoon, color, foods, sound, friend, game, toys, and book. There is a page for your baby's family tree. First bath, first smile, first Dr. visit, etc. Spaces for dates and pictures for important milestones such as when baby learns to sit up, crawl, stand, walk, etc. Then, there are a few consecutive pages where you can put pictures of their first holidays. What I especially love about this baby book is that you have moments that go beyond the first year. There are pages dedicated to your baby's birthdays going up to age 5. There is a page for you child's first day of school. At the end of the book, you get several pages that are blank where you can put whatever you want - great for moms who love to scrapbook. I'd say that the only "downside" is that you have very limited space to write, but at the same time, the format is so simple and straight forward that you don't have much reason to write more than what they give you the space for. All in all, it's a beautiful, simple, and thoughtful baby book that I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a precious keepsake for their children to flip through when they are older. I can't wait to fill the entire book with the memories to come!

These books are the cutest! Each of my kids got a different one & I absolutely adore them. I just finished my 1 year olds, but just have to fill out for his future birthdays & 1st day of school. Same for my 2 & 3 year old...can't wait to add their 1st day of school pictures next month! Amazing quality, and the blank pages at the end allowed me to add more pictures & write about each picture. Great value for money & it includes all of their memories, 1st haircut, walking, etc. All of my favorite pictures are in this book. I'm just sad I won't be having any more babies to buy another one but I've gotten as gifts for soon-to-be mothers as well.

I love this little book! It’s super cute! The colors are bright and happy. It would work for a boy or girl. It has fun inclusions past the first year and outside of just monthly pictures (think lots of first activity or holiday pictures). It’s great quality. I found bright matching monthly stickers from the same company for pictures. Here are the only things that I’ve found I don’t like: 1. The ‘Who was the leader’ when you were born section. I didn’t like putting someone so divisive in the book. I wish there was nothing gov/politics related. I’d rather have a ‘big news’ section where you can choose a news event to add. The leader section has no wiggle room for info. 2. The family tree section is super cute, but not really ideal. I understand that it’s to accommodate non traditional families, but it’s just strange. I had to think about it for a good week before coming up with a plan to add family. I’m still not really that happy with the outcome. To accommodate non traditional families and people who would like a 2 sided ‘tree’ to celebrate families joining and their history, I wish the book would include 2 pages and allow for 1 to be removed. They already include a ‘title page’ of information to be removed so it’s not a weird idea. 3. As others have noted, some of the picture sizes are unusual and hard to get printed. On top of that not all the picture sizes are the same, so you have to pay attention when printing. This issue bothers me a lot less, but as I did find it to be a slight annoyance, I figured it warranted mentioning. Despite all that, I would still recommend this to friends.

Such an adorable book. I didn't want a baby book that required much writing. Love how this one is focused on pictures and moments. And I like that it's spiral bound so I could rip out any page I didn't want to fill out. Make sure you get it before the baby arrives. There is a spot for a letter to the baby and a page for footprints (which they'll do at the hospital). Also it helped to know that there is baby's first dr visit, first car ride, and a bump picture. I hadn't taken a good bump picture for the book until the week before and I'm glad I did (as opposed to in the mirror, phone in hand quick shot). And that first week and trip home is such a blur that I'm glad I knew to take the time to get a few good pictures in the car and at the first dr appt. A few minor cons: There are too many spots for holidays and I don't really celebrate a few of those (cinco de mayo, st. patrick's day) so I either have to come up with an outfit or double up on pictures for a few holidays, which is fine and I understand that the extra spots are there for other holidays that people may celebrate. I appreciate that the spots under the photos are blank so you don't HAVE to have a photo for every holiday, and it allows you to go in chronological order from when the baby is born which is nice because it would bug me if my baby was born halfway through the year and the holidays didn't progress with her age. It's very pink. I'm not a pink lover, but I am a lover of all things floral so I don't mind it. Each of the monthly pages are a different color, but the flowers on each page are pink. It would have been nice to have some variety, especially since I try to coordinate her outfit to the color scheme of the page. It is still my favorite baby girl book option on the market by so, so far.

This is a great baby book if you are looking for something simple (just as advertised, "A Simple Book of Firsts"!) that will not overwhelm you with pages and pages of personal information to fill in about how you are feeling about being pregnant or how you and your partner met, etc. I knew if got a book like that, I would never fill it in. All I wanted was something simple where I could paste in pictures of the baby each month along with some little memories. This book absolutely fits the bill. It also has spots for the baby's "firsts" (first bath, first smile, etc) as well as their first holidays and then after they turn 1, pages for each of their first 5 birthdays. The design is cute and modern but not not garish. All great right? Here are my issues, and ultimately why I will not be buying one of these books for my second baby: - The photo sizes needed are weird. Mostly 4x4 and 3x3. These are not standard photo sizes so it can be difficult to get these printed. Also with square photos you sometimes have to trim them awkwardly. Standard photo sizes (3x5, 4x6, etc) would be better. - While I loved that the memories to fill in each month were short and sweet, the little squares to fill them in are TINY. And sometimes that was fine, if your response was something short, but in the instance you had a little more to say, there was no where near enough room. I had to write super tiny in all the boxes and now it is a bit hard to read. Maybe if they would have left off the drawings of the animals on these pages there would have been more room for writing space. - I would have liked there to be an envelope or pouch or something to add additional mementos, ultrasounds, cards, etc. This is not a total deal breaker, you can paste in your own. If these issues would not bother you, its a great book. Unfortunately I am looking for something a bit different for my second baby's book.

Pages are very creative! I haven’t started to put the book together yet but will provide more information once it’s together about quality! Very cute baby book!!!
