BABY’S RECORD BOOK.
It is a good plan ' to keep a Baby Book—not only for sentiment or amusement. It will prove a valuable record of the child’s early life, which must be.progressive, mentally and physically.
Quite attractive books for this purpose can be obtained and would make ail. unusual gift for a new baby. In it the mother can copy his weight from the chart given her by the Plunket nurses. _ _ The sentimental side will tell of ms christening, his first photograph, lists of gifts and givers at all his anniversaries. The rest of his progress notes will show how his mentality develops — his first smile, his. first attempt to grab his toe or” mother’s fingers; his first'laugh and crow; when lie could sit up, pull himself up on his feet; his first tooth, and which one; his first attempt to’ crawl and his first step ajone; his first word and then his quaint interpretation and imitation of words will always cause a smile. These may 6eem unimportant, but are definite milestones, each one showing whether his progress will compare favourably with that of the average baby or not.
