Perfect baby shower gift!

I have the perfect baby shower gift idea for you.  It is an absolutely divine book called “Why Babies Do That: Baffling Baby Behavior Explained”.  It is such a cute book; each page is dedicated to explaining a baffling baby behavior, beautifully illustrated with stunning photos on each page. I wish I had this book before the babes were born. The author, Jennifer (who has her own website), sent me the book a few months back as a gift, and I loved it.  I am now participating in her blog book tour.

 

The book is written in a humorous way, but it is still informative.  Besides having a good giggle at the odd things babies do, you actually learn.

 

It is such a nice baby shower gift, unusual and also so useful.

 

But the best bit….Once you’ve finished reading and you’ve learnt what you need to know, it makes a perfect book to ‘read’ to your baby, because as you know, babies LOVE looking at pictures of other babies.

 

I loved this book. Such a lovely, sunny, funny, cute book.

Description

As soft, warm, and cuddly as they are, babies often display puzzling behaviors that can startle, concern, and leave both novice parents and seasoned grandparents scratching their collective heads in bemusement. After all, many newborns emerge into the world with cone-shaped heads, half-closed eyes, and wrinkled, peeling skin. Some even have acne. As they grow, they continue to make funny noises, they find specs of dust in the air so fascinating they will cross their eyes to follow them, they enjoy sucking on their own toes, and they cough, splutter, spit up, and drool! This unique books explains key baby behaviors parents and other caregivers encounter in babies between 0 and one year old. The behaviors range from the truly bizarre (why do babies play with their own poop?) to the truly lovable (why do babies love to be cuddled?) and everything in between. This witty and informative book not only informs but also inspires the reader to play peek-a-boo, cuddle, bounce, and enjoy everything unique about babies. In photographs and prose, Why Babies Do That captures some of a baby's finest, albeit fleeting, moments.

What a cute book! I needed a little "thank you" gift for a friend with a 4 month old and this will do the trick. Thanks for sharing!

(I saw your review on Amazon... very nice!)

My 20 month old absolutely LOVES that book. I bought it for me, but I haven't had a chance to read the text yet. Though we have "read" the pictures many, many times.

What a terrific looking book! I will definitely have to check it out - keep a few on hand for shower gifts, and I like abogada's suggestion as a thank you gift! How cool would that be?

Damn. I never get credit for *anything*. ;)
