I did a post about this last year but thought it would be fun for Show and Tell.
I know the cover looks kind of gross but the inside is in perfect condition.
This is my Mom's baby book.
My Mom was named Anne Louise at birth but her name was changed at some point to Emeline Louise, which was shortened to Emmy Lou. She was born in December, 1922.
I love all the old graphics.
She didn't have her first bath until she was 3 1/2 months old.
One of her first toys was a roly poly rattle.
A piece of her hair and the ribbon that held it.
Her Aunt Cecil bought her first shoes.
Her first trip was to the small town about 20 minutes away (now) where her Grandmother lived, on December 23.
I can't believe this book is in such good shape after all these years.
She took her first steps at 13 1/2 months. She was baptised in June as Emeline Louise.
I love the Christmas graphic!
I was really excited to discover this amoung my Mom's things.

What a treasure you have there! It has immeasurable value since it was your own mother's! Your right, the graphics are exquisite!

It's a WONDERFUL treasure!!! Books are a lot like people - the insides can be more beautiful than the outsides, OR vice-versa. :D
Thanks so much for sharing - it's beautiful! (I also love your header and mouse snowman. :D)

The pictures in that baby book are SO beautiful. I bet if someone made a baby book today that looked like that it would FLY off the shelf! Happy Weekend! Jen

We have my husband's grandmother's baby book. Our middle daughter is named after her, so we inherited it when she passed away. I will have to share it one of these Fridays.
