The perfect no fuss baby memory book to document your babies first year of life.
We designed this book to be easy to fill in, functional and clean. Every page was thoughtfully designed with new moms and dads in mind.
Our baby books have no mention of boy or girl, Mom or Dad, Holidays, etc. This makes our book truly universal for our international friends and all couples alike.
This adoptive version is for parents adopting a newborn baby. Older Life Books coming soon !
