Any help for filling out baby books for 2008??
Hey Kelley… yes, don’t worry. Help is on the way. Towards the end of the year, we will add a summary of events, trends and costs for 2008 so you’ll have what you need for those baby book pages. Thanks!
how about info for 2004…. I know a bit late, but life is crazy.
Thank you thank you thank you! Slogging through this information on the internet is so slow. You’ve put it all here in an easy format at our fingertips. Thank you!
Do you have a list available for 2006?
This is all great information I’ll use in my baby book!
Great Idea,
I would love a “What Happened in Baby’s World” for 2004 and 2006! Is that a possibility! Thank you so much this is a GREAT idea!! Helps a lot!

Do you have this information for 2008 so far? :)
Ok…we’re in 2009, is the 2008 info published somewhere or are we still waiting?
Why isn’t there a business or company out there somewhere that makes these books? I can’t think of a Mom on the planet that wouldn’t order a book already compiled with information about what happened during the year their child was born! What a great birth gift for yourself or someone else and what a fantastic keepsake!!!
