Guide Review - My Life as a Baby - First Year Calendar
My Life as a Baby is a great first year calendar. It has journaling prompts at every month and even starts off the calendar with a page all about when your baby was born. The journaling prompts are the same through every month. While they could be different, they are generic enough to be fine for a newborn and a one year old.

Each month is empty so that you can fill in the days of the month and the month itself. There is also an area for a 4 X 6 photo every month and one for a newborn photo. This allows you to see how much baby has grown month to month and from birth to the first birthday.

The 36 stickers that are included can be used or not. I have chosen to use some of them and ignore the ones that don't apply. Typical stickers are baby's firsts like walking, talking and eating. There are also stickers of appointments with the pediatrician, etc. The extra stickers can be used for keeping siblings busy.

The biggest benefit for me is that it is easy to sit down and jot down a couple of memories each day or week. I can make sure that I get the big things on the calendar to share with my baby as she gets older. This is the perfect size for the busy mom of many or busy mom of one. This would make a great baby shower present or newborn gift.
