A journal for your baby's first year

Write the first year while it's happening.

Quick prompts for busy days and deeper questions for quiet ones. Write how it felt, not just what happened. A book for you now and for them one day.

$79 includes your printed book.

How it works

  1. Start any time

    In the first weeks or once you come up for air.

  2. Answer when you can

    A quick prompt or a deeper question. Five minutes is enough.

  3. Write them letters

    Letters to them or to yourself along the way.

  4. Your year in a book

    Printed and sent to your door.

From the first weeks to the first birthday

  1. The first weeks

    What do you whisper to them when nobody else is listening?

  2. Months 2–3

    What's your favorite sound they make right now?

  3. Months 4–6

    What makes them laugh right now?

  4. Months 7–9

    What's a little thing the two of you always do?

  5. Months 10–12

    Any words yet, or ones you're pretty sure count?

  6. The first birthday

    What do you hope they keep from this year, even though they won't remember it?

Not another milestone tracker

First steps are in every baby book. How you felt about them isn't.

Milestones are important too. But so are the long nights, the worries and your thoughts about who they'll become.

Questions you might have

“I barely have time to shower.”
A few lines is plenty. Pick a quick prompt on busy days and save the deeper questions for later.
“I never finished the last baby book.”
No blank pages here. Just one question at a time, and the book takes shape as you go.
“What if we miss a few weeks?”
Then you catch up when you can. Write about last week today, and it lands in the right place in the year.

$79 includes your printed book.

One price and no subscription.
