Little Artist Baby Memory Book

The Little Artist Baby Memory Book is all about florals, every bloom drawn by hand by Lucy Darling founder Haily Meyers. The cream cover has a bright garland of pink and coral roses and green leaves around a hand-lettered "Baby's first year," with "a simple book of firsts" along the bottom.

Inside, the palette turns up: folk-style flowers on saturated hot pink, teal, mint, lavender and mustard, with floral borders throughout. These are vivid colors rather than soft pastels.

What's Inside

Forty-eight pages carry you from before birth through age five, with spaces for 49 photos. Thirty-seven of them give you a short prompt to fill in, and the last 11 are left free for notes, extra photos and keepsakes.

• Before You Were Born: the ultrasound photo, weeks, cravings, due date and who you told first, plus a letter to your baby written before you met
• The day you arrived: time, date, weight, length, hair, eyes, who delivered you and where, with pages for the birth announcement, the hospital bracelet, and baby's footprints and hand tracings
• Where you lived, and a snapshot of the world the year your baby was born
• Months 1 through 12: one page per month, each with a photo and four short prompts (We'll never forget, You love, You can, You don't like)
• Favorite things, a family tree drawn to match the book, firsts from first bath to first word, and twelve first holidays
• Your first scribble, birthday pages for ages 1 through 5, and a First Day of School page
