For every parent, a baby's early years are filled with memorable firsts-first smiles . . . first words . . . first steps . . . first Christmas. 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.

My First Five Years is graced throughout with the remarkable images of acclaimed photographer Anne Geddes. She uses the gorgeous imagery to cast a magical feeling over the entire journal.

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. Through Geddes' eyes we are able to experience the innocence and preciousness of new life.

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.

My First Five Years-Flower Edition will become a treasured keepsake of a time that passes all too quickly.

Also included- hand knit yellow booties to tie on your gift.
