    I love this book!!!!!!

    I think it's pretty hard to find things besides diaper changes and feedings to do with a brand new baby, but this book is full of ideas!!! Very creative activities that I would never have thought of, plus lots of songs to sing to baby. I bought this for myself, but the next time someone I know is having a baby I will definatly give this book as a gift.

    buy it before you purchase baby products.

    This is a great book if you get it BEFORE you have the baby. It shows how to make things from cheap items in the home for baby to develope. If you have jumperoo's, rattles,boppy's in the home, this book is a waste of money. The only great thing I learned is that it is important to provide spatial awareness for your little ones. Climbing the stairs is a great way to do that. Who knew!
