A Bio on Your Baby, Good Enough to Frame
Here is a terrific way for parents and grandparents to display all the facts on that new baby--with the Babyography. The keepsake includes all sorts of personal facts about the child--birth time, weight, length, hospital, doctor, relatives--just for starters. The customized certificate (11 by 14 inches) also features famous people who share the birthday, historical and current events that occurred on that day and an astrological profile.
Each certificate is created individually so it can be tailored for different types of families, for example an adopted child or a single parent. Babyography ($16.95) is suitable for framing.
