It has all the information about the baby, what their name means, different news headlines from the week they were born along with people who share the birthday etc, it is soo cool! I plan to get one for each of my kids! Great gift idea!
Good luck!

*Elli's Ma
I would like to know what you ladies got for your baby showers if you had on?. What was the most useful item? What was the least useful? The best and thorough list gets 10 pts. Thanks a bunch!
Answer
The Best Gifts:
Diapers!!
Baby Care Items: Tear-Free Shampoo, Baby Bath, Washcloths, Wipes, Diaper Cream....
Swing: Battery Operated
Vibrating Bouncy Chair
Lullabye CD (You can find some great contemporary ones....I danced with my girls to soothe them when they were babies at bedtime and we still do this every night at bedtime and they are 3 and 4!). The gift of music is a GREAT gift!
Hooded Towels: These are great for keeping baby warm after bathime and you can keep the hood on them while you get them dressed.
Onesies and Socks: You can never have too many because the onesies will get stained and the socks have a mysterious way of going missing!
Receiving Blankets: You can use them to swaddle, as portable diaper changing stations, as burp cloths, to clean up a mess....VERY VERSATILE!
Diaper Bag: A great diaper bag is a must!
Personalized Items: Not only are these simply very nice things to have....a personalized blanket, diaper bag, tote or cap will never accidentally go home with another child at daycare, moms group or the family function. A big blanket with baby's name will grow with them through toddler-hood, too!
Travel system is nice.....but I think only the one registered for or that mommy and daddy wants is the way to go on this high-ticket item! (Travel system is the car seat and stroller combo!)
Nursery set/Bedding set....once again this is a very nice item to get at the shower if the giver goes with the one the parents chose! The nursery set sets the tone for the ENTIRE nursery and mom and dad should be the ones to pick this one out!
Snugli or Baby Wrap: There is nothing better than being able to grocery shop or go for a walk at the mall with your hands free! Baby simply loves being close to mom and these carriers are the perfect way to lull baby to sleep and still be able to get all your things done!
______________
Gifts that were......not needed
Diaper Genie: Poop smells like poop. Poop in a cool plastic container with scented liners smells like.....Scented Poop? Skip the genie and just take those diapers to the tough kitchen trashcan and throw your trash out a couple of times a day!
Boppy: I never could get the hang of the boppy. It looked cool but I found a big king sized pillow to be much easier and better to manipulate for the PERFECT position when bottle feeding AND breast feeding.
Fancy Outfits: Too many of these will have you wasting days spot treating all those blowout/spitup/food stains. One or two is fine but too many of these and they'll never get worn!!
Diaper Stacker: The new mom has enough to do without having to make the unused diapers look pretty in the stacker.
Heartbeat Sound Gizmos: I tried doing this with my fussy 2nd daughter....it never worked. They want to be close to mommy and the heartbeat sound thing is convincing but, in our case, a no go. Save your dollars!
Pastel Mobiles: Research says babies are much more interested in BRIGHT COLORS....so pastel mobiles with just plush animals hanging down aren't going to be very interesting to the little one!
Mattress Covers: Baby had a leak at 2am.....that mattress cover is going to have to come off as well as the sheet. After getting the NEW one on and then trying to wrestle on the sheet on top of that....mom and dad are going to figure out that the crib mattress is VINYL and that the mattress cover, really, isn't neccesary. Baby is going to be perfectly happy on just the sheet! Just make sure to wipe down the mattress with a baby-friendly cleanser everytime sheets are changed!
