For years parents have been buying baby books to document all the precious moments in their new baby's life -- Baby's First Tooth, Baby's First Haircut, Baby's First Step. What have been ignored for too long are those "alternative" precious moments that really should be written down, celebrated, and remembered -- Baby's First Projectile Vomit, Baby's First Tantrum in a Crowded Grocery Store, Baby's 10,000th Dirty Diaper. Otherwise you might forget them and think of becoming parents once again.

Some gems from the pages include: "Diameter of baby's head" followed thereafter by "Diameter of hole baby's head came through." There are places to record baby's first projectile vomit, and even baby's first DWI. There's even a ledger of expenses you can fill out which start out with hospital expenses and even include cost of spring break, cost of first auto repair, and cost of "finding oneself".

This is funny, funny stuff. It's not intended to be a serious memory book for any child, but it provided me, a parent, with plenty of giggles.

I picked this book up because of its catchy title. I don't have any kids, but many of my friends do and I am always looking for the perfect baby gift. I read this book from cover to cover and laughed all the way through. I highly recommned this book to anyone looking for a baby gift for the modern couple.

I stumbled on this book by accident and immediately thought of a handful of people who could use it and appreciate it. Kids do say, and break, and spit up, and do the darnedest things and Baby's First Tattoo prompts you to record them. A must for any recent parent.

This is a great gift when you're tired of giving the same 'ol ho-hum thing. I don't have kids, but if I did, I would really enjoy getting this book. You will be proud of this refreshing change!!


There are better baby books out there   September 5, 2002

While looking for a unique baby shower gift, I stumbled across this book and picked it up due to its catchy title. A few items made me laugh, but my overall impression is that the book tries too hard with pop culture references that are soon to be outdated and confusing.

This book might be amusing for a few minutes at a baby shower, but is destined to end up on a bookshelf, unused.

If you're looking for a humorous baby book that parents would actually take time to fill out, I would suggest The Inappropriate Baby Book by Jennifer Stinson. It's more charming and less cynical than Baby's First Tattoo and has the potential to draw laughs for years to come.
