Customer Reviews

A delightful joining of baby's developments and spirituality

I enjoyed the spiritual reflections of each monthly development as the baby grows. I used this book every month to see what to expect and to find a new way to look at our baby's changes and growth. It reminds us to admire the baby and God's gift. Although, she touches on a couple developments for each month, this is not a technical parenting book. Instead, it is a relaxing, reflection to enjoy what God has brought to your life through a child. Dr. Parish is also our pediatrician and truly respects and cares for children, which is exemplified in her conversations with the child more than the parent!

Good advice for any parrent

This book is great. I thought the way it related to my spiritual life was wonderfull.
