It is unreal to believe that this first year of my baby's life is coming to an end. Time has flown by so fast and we have so many more to look for in the future. This book has been great for us, and though I did not diligently read it a week it at time as it is laid out I did read the whole thing through out the past year and benefited from it. I was very interested in Glade Curtis' Baby's First Year, because his version of What to Expect in [b:Your Pregnancy Week by Week|2148166|Your Pregnancy Week by Week|Glade Curtis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266583013s/2148166.jpg|2153659] was the best pregnancy book I experienced out of the dozen that I read.

Each chapter was broken down into a week of your baby's first year. Typical height and measurements as well as highlights of milestones of a baby's social, emotional and intellectual development. It was great to jump into and look to see how to evaluate AppleBlossom's progress. It was neat to see that she is much smaller in height and weight, but faster advanced than the average child with walking and interaction. Without hesitation I recommend this book to any new family. You may not need all of the sections, but those that you do are invaluable.
