As You Grow: A Modern Memory Book for Baby
Finally, a modern baby book!When looking for a baby book to document my daughter's first year, I was frustrated at the lack of modern and detailed books that were available. The style of "As You Grow" is delicate yet sturdy, detailed yet minimalistic, structured yet open-ended. This book chronicles years 0-5 with its emphasis on your baby's first year. Pages that may not apply (ie: Christmas or Hanukkah) can easily be removed without leaving a gaping hole or tear in your book as the book is bound in a way that allows this! They have also left room for your book to grow thicker with pictures and artwork (so the pages won't outgrow the spine)! The book is also open for different family structures and is gender neutral decorated with gorgeous calligraphy and airy, whimsical drawings of plants and leaves. So much thoughtfulness has been put into this book and it shows!
Sections of the book are separated by sturdy "pockets" that you can put letters/pages/artwork/cards in. They are made very well and don't "stick out" in a way that some pockets do in memory books. They flow seamlessly with the pages and provide a nice texture variation to separate the book's main "chapters" which include:
* Before There Was You (The Pregnancy)
* And Suddenly You Were My Everything (Birth and the First Weeks)
* Discovering You (Months 1-12)
* Memorable Moments (Firsts, Stories, and How you Made us Laugh)
* Watching you Grow (Childhood Highlights (Ages 2-5)
*You are So Loved (Letters to Baby)
The purpose of a baby book is not just for you to remember but eventually to pass on to your chlid as an adult. Your child will appreciate "As You Grow" as a work of love when they are older as it chronicles their first 5 years of life in a special, witty, and thoughtful way. The book itself seems like it will last through the years. The pages aren't flimsy at all but more like cardstock. The binding itself seems dependable/hardy yet looks delicate.
Overall, I recommend this book and think that it will be greatly appreciated as a gift to any parent who values style, quality, and beauty!
The manufacturer provided a copy for an honest review. I have no personal or financial interest in the company or in anyone employed there.
