Hi all -
This is the only place I could think to ask this! I have a Rag & Bone "Baby's First Book" that was Maeve's baby book when she was born (got it as a gift at my shower) and loved it. I haven't really filled it all out yet (who has!) but it came with this adorable card that you could take out and post near the changing table or light and jot down the milestones so you didn't forget. Thanks to that, I actually got every big milestone written down so I can fill out the book. I loved it so much that I just got a second one in a different handmade cover for Charlotte. Here's a link to them so you get the idea: http://www.ragandbone.com/products/baby/index.html
BUT, now that Maeve's beyond 1, I'm looking for a really pretty and special keepsake book that is similar that I can use for the rest of her childhood. I don't want one that makes me feel guilty that I don't jot down EVERY thing, but I do want to: 1) write down important milestones (developmental, emotional, physical, etc.) 2) put in pictures of important events or days, and 3) keep things like special pictures, Valentine's day cards she made me, special mementos, etc,; 4) and, of course, I want it to have a page for each birthday.
I know if I had more time I could create a custom scrapbook, but I just don't have that kind of time or talent.
Any suggestions? I'm fairly price insensitive on this (within reason), so any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!
