Before Lili was born my mother gave me a very cool gift – my baby book. The book is full of copious notes and details of my young life in perfect penmanship documenting everything…
baby gifts received (apricot jumpsuit – Mr. & Mrs. Voebel)
world headlines (Spiro T. Agnew – resigned on tax fraud)
cars of the time (Mazda with rotary engine)
most advanced home appliance (trash compacter)
records of my height and weight (7 months – 16.3lbs, 27 inches)
first words (bad dog)
and overall notes about my personality as an individual (age 3 1/2 after having hair braided when wet and taking it out – Me, “Mom…am I big?” Mom, “Yes you are getting very big.” Me, “Well I have BIG hair and I don’t like it!”
This is such a cool thing to have and in some sense my inspiration for a blog devoted to all things Lili. Hope I can keep up.
What a wonderful gift you are creating for Lili…. I think my parents had the same baby book for me!
