“Best baby shower gifts” — Good Housekeeping
"I have 3 children, and I have gotten a Lucy Darling Memory Book for each of them. I love the simplicity and the artwork on each page. It is easy and fast to fill out the pages, so even with a busy schedule, you can put together a sweet memory book for each child. Each page takes me 10 minutes or less"

Description
For the tiniest cowboy or cowgirl on the range, the My First Rodeo Baby Memory Book is as full of heart as it is charm. A lasso looped into a heart, peeking cacti, and western-inspired rope borders give the cover a distinctly handcrafted feel that stands apart from anything else in the baby book category.
The dusty desert tones hold up on a shelf. The hardcover carries a soft-touch laminate finish, the 48 pages are archival-quality, and the wire-o binding lays flat while you write. Every illustration is original and hand-drawn by Lucy Darling founder Haily Meyers, printed with eco-friendly soy-based inks. Most baby books get bought, opened once, and tucked away. We designed this one to actually get filled in.
What's Inside
Your baby's first year, carrying on through the fifth birthday, with spaces for 49 photos and a prompt on every page. The book closes with a personal note from Haily Meyers printed inside.
- Before You Were Born: ultrasound, due date, cravings, who you told first, and a letter to your baby before you met
- Birth story pages: date, time, weight, length, hair, eyes, delivered by, and hospital, plus the birth announcement and hospital bracelet
- Hand and footprint page, where you lived, and a when-you-were-born snapshot: the cost of a loaf of bread, the popular song, the nation's leader
- Monthly milestone spreads for months 1 through 12, each with four short prompts
- First-year milestones: first bath, first car ride, first big trip, first word, first steps, and first holidays, with a family tree illustrated to match the theme
- Birthday pages for years 1 through 5 and a First Day of School page
Western, Without the Wink
For families who lean into the cowboy aesthetic without irony. The rope borders and cacti are drawn the way a good saddle is made: with care, and meant to last. The dusty palette coordinates with leather, wood, and the warm neutrals of a western nursery, and the family tree inside is illustrated to match the cover. You don't have to catch up. You have to start.
As a Baby Shower Gift
A gift-ready keepsake for western-loving families, and one that looks nothing like the standard shower-table stack. Each book is tissue wrapped for gifting. Orders ship from Salt Lake City in 1 to 2 business days. Free shipping on orders over $75.
The My First Rodeo Baby Memory Book: an heirloom-quality record of the years you'll want to remember forever.

Your Free Photo Lab
Every Lucy Darling memory book comes with access to your free Photo Lab — a browser-based tool that helps you organize photos by page for the book in front of you, and tracks the details you want to remember (birthweight, length, the small fond feelings that won't make sense later if you don't write them down now). Upload photos and they're sized automatically for printing. No app to download, no account to create — open it at memories.lucydarling.com. The book holds the heirloom. The Photo Lab holds the rest.
Pairs beautifully with the Mountain Fields Milestone Pennant for your monthly milestone photos. Complete the set with felt milestone numbers. See all memory books →

We just had our second baby and I absolutely love these memory books we just had to get one for our newborn. I love the artwork, the intro pages, and the way you can document their “firsts” in the back. I’ve bought this book for friends as a baby shower gift too!
Love, love, LOVE this baby book I got for my daughter, Ava! Thanks to LucyDarlingShop on Etsy, her memory book will be perfect! Highly recommend if anyone needs a baby book!
When taking care of an infant, moments to yourself are rare and short lived. This baby book allows me to document those important memories quickly! With a "standard" book, I probably would have given up or missed a lot because if how much detail to fill in. With my Lucy Darling, it hits the most important things in an adorable layout! I highly recommend this book to all busy parents!
Better than expected! Shop also very helpful and polite!
Exactly what I wanted and had even make in it! Very satisfied with my purchase!

Making Darling Moments Together
When graphic designer Haily Meyers was pregnant with her first child, Lucy, she began creating sticker sets to capture the joy and precious moments of pregnancy and motherhood.
This inspired Haily and her husband Kevin to launch Lucy Darling in 2012 with just three sticker sets manifesting their love and excitement as new parents. Today, Lucy Darling has blossomed with over 100 uniquely designed pieces helping families make lasting memories together.

What should I do with blank pages on the back?
Extra pictures, special cards from the baby shower, a place to write down Darling Moments! These are just a few fun uses for those extra pages, but the possibilities are endless.
Do your memory books work for all families?
Yes! Our baby memory books take a “child-focused” approach. Most references to parents are worded as "we loved," or "we watched you grow," etc. We’ve also recently updated our books and removed the family tree labels, which gives you the freedom to label each space in a way that works for your specific family. The only reference to any one parent is on the “before you were born” page where there's a photo spot for mom's belly and a blank spot to write what mom was craving.
Don’t Let Precious Memories Fade Away
Life between the sleepy snuggles and the school drop-offs are fleeting moments. Don't allow a single meaningful memory to slip through your fingers unrecorded. Order your My First Rodeo Baby Memory Book now!
