I hope that when my daughter is grown, she will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed completing it. I think this is a lovely book and I am very happy with it.
I would have preferred it be spiral bound or more loosely bound to allow for the things we parents like to cram in there! I give it 4 stars only because I think once you begin to add photos and mememtos, the book will probably not close.

My First Five Years-Flower Edition will become a treasured keepsake of a time that passes all too quickly. My First Five Years is filled with touches that make this a truly special journal-an envelope to hold a baby's first lock of hair, height and weight charts to track growth through the years, and plenty of room for announcements and your own child's photos and mementos. Through Geddes' eyes we are able to experience the innocence and preciousness of new life. Each turn of the page reveals an enchanting image and yet another example of her deep and abiding love for babies-a slumbering baby rests gently atop a peony, the calla lily petals offer protection to a newborn in its loving caress, an orchid tenderly cradles a sleeping child.
She uses the gorgeous imagery from Miracle, her heartfelt collaboration with singer Celine Dion, to cast a magical feeling over the entire journal. My First Five Years-Flower Edition is graced throughout with the remarkable images of acclaimed photographer Anne Geddes. It's natural that an artist best known for her celebration of babies would create the perfect place to save these precious moments for posterity. For every parent, a baby's early years are filled with memorable firsts-first smiles.
