cuke15's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Baby Book So I found my baby book, and I thought I'd type up the contents of it here, for you guys... it's pretty interesting.
In between cover and first page, there is a card someone drew.. and it says "Happy
1st Birthday Timmy", and there's a little bear and a
candle on it. Then there is a retail card that says on the
front... "Congratulations On Your NEW BABY BOY!
Gee, you must be HAPPY, EXCITED, THRILLED, PROUD... then on the inside it says ...and POOPED!"
and there is a picture of the moon yawning and a
light on in a house and the word "WAAAAA!!"
coming out of the window... then it says "Best Wishes to All!"
Then it was signed Love, Rob, Linda + Eric. Nikki + Buster too! Then
there's a picture of Jeremy, I'm
guessing, but it may be me, and then
there's a picture of me and Jeremy
togehter. Then there's an ADORABLE picture of me...
why don't I still look this cute?
Then you flip the page.. and it's a
blank page with a plastic bag taped to it with brown hair in it (my hair was
brown before?).. and it says under
it "Curls from first
hair cut 12-17-84". Then, on the
opposite page, where the actual first
page was.. with the template and
everything for the baby book.. i'll do
it like this:

Our Little Boy
This is the keepsake record of Timothy
Scott Mason. Born to John + Suzanne
Mason on August 26, 1983.
[Page 2-Left]
If For Little Boys (prewritten poem, by
whichever company made the baby book)
If he can come into the world
and show you
that he's a little angel
from the start,
If he can fuss and kick
and lose his halo,
then turn around and smile
and win your heart,
If he delights you
though at times he's naughty,
and makes you laugh at him
instead of scold,
If at one moment
he can try your temper
and then the very next
be good as gold...
[Page 2-Right]
If he's forever asking
lots of questions
and bringing home
the treasures he has found,
If he encounters puddles
in his pathway
and stomps right through
instead of going around,
If he can fill each day
with high adventure,
and fill your life
with happiness and joy,
Then he'll be everything
you've always wanted--
he'll be a happy,
healthy baby boy!

This page was originally meant for baby
showers, but that's striked out and
this is written (by my mom):
You were my second son, and for your
second baby + then after there are no
showers, but you were so sweet. You
did get alot of gifts thou!
On these pages for showers I'll
fill in about you.
You were born on Friday, August
26, 1983, 9:52 PM. I was only in
labor with you 2 hrs., and 20 mins.
You were an easy baby to have. I felt
so good after having you. Grandma D
came to see you on Sat Aug 27, 1983.
She was so proud.
Daddy came everyday. Daddy
brought us home on Monday Aug 29th to
your new home + to meet your brother,
Jeremy.
[Page 3-Right]
For the first 3 mos. you were a bad
baby. Cried alot, had colic, up all
night + day. You never hardly kept
food in ya, you spit up, threw up all
the time. We couldn't go anywhere,
you'd cried.
You did change into a nice happy
baby. It was rough at first but I
loved you so.
The time you became 5 mos. old you
were a very good, healthy happy baby.
Always doing stuff.

[In middle of Page 4]
There's a little sheet of paper,
horrible handwriting, I must have
written in 1987 in Pre-school. It's a
timeline I made that says "Time line
of Timmy's Life". Maybe Jeremy made
it, I don't know. It started out with
a blue pen line, and a blue start line
that says 1983, my mom wrote those..
My brother did everything else in
pencil and it says on the first
line "August 26... I was borned."
[Interjection: I guess I made this.]
Then it says "April," (1984) "I Moved
from Virginia to South Carolina."
Then it says "Desber," (1986) "I got
the chiken poks"
After the timeline, there's a picture
of me and my brother in sailor
uniforms (boy, that sounds dirty)...
they do for brothers in Navy
Families.. Still looking cute... Then
there's a smaller picture of that
first very cute one I was telling you
about. Then a smaller one of the one
of me and my brother.

Our Little Boy's Birth Certificate
On this page, I think my mom decided to
plaster it with things from the
hospital visit. First there's a
little hospital band they put on me
that says "Boy Mason Suzanne 8/26/83
2152 Billye" Then there's another one
that says the same thing..Then there's
a little faded big hospital band with
purple ink. As far as I can tell it's
my dads name and my dads rank, and my moms name and I can't make out what the other stuff on it is. Under those,
there's a card taped to it and there's
a little box with "Breast" checked in
it" then it has:
Baby Mason 4/13/2 (NOTE:Not a date.. i
dunno what it is)
Infant's name: Mother's Full Name: Suzanne

Chest: 13 1/8
Abd: 13.
Then to the left of this card, is the
bill from the hospital and it
says "$19.65" and "Paid By: Check #400"
And under the bill my mom
wrote "Hospital Bill only $19.65 for
food for Mommy." Then under the first
card, there's a bag with a shrivlled up
thingee and it says "Belly Button Cord"
