Do you remember the way your baby laughed? I was watching a Facebook reel the other day, and the baby gave one of those adorable belly giggles. Just like our daughter used to laugh. I can almost remember it like it was yesterday.

They say it goes fast, and I suppose that's true. Times blur together, and it gets harder to separate the waiting, from the watching, to the walking. When I saw these three devotional journals, I thought what a terrific idea. Writing down the memories will help keep them separated in one's mind, and inviting Christ into each stage, well, that's the greatest gift we can give ourselves or our family.

Thomas Nelson has published three devotional journals written by Catherine Claire Larson. They're age appropriate (smile) for the moms of children who are a particular age. Let's take a closer look:

Walking In Wonder: Growing In Faith While You're Expecting

This journal includes:

• A helpful "Points for Prayer" section and a "Mommy's Memory Verse" for each week

• Weekly entries that trace the growth of your baby

• Daily devotions that lead you closer to God

• Helpful journaling prompts with space to record your emotions and prayers and love notes for your baby

This book tracks a pregnancy, what development is happening week after week. After reading Genesis 1:28, Moms are reminded

'Motherhood is a high and holy calling—given by God Himself.'

Walking In Wonder: Growing In Faith During Your Baby's First Year

This journal includes:

• A weekly inspirational devotional theme on one of God's unchanging characteristics

• Monthly "Memories and Milestones" sections to help you document your baby’s growth

• Devotions that lead you closer to God

• Thoughtful journaling prompts with space to record stories and prayers

This book is marked by the many milestones a baby will experience in their first year. After reading Romans 12:2, Moms are reminded

'Likewise, while God's perfections and nature are complete and unchanging, you and I are everyday in the process of becoming.'

Walking In Wonder: A Devotional Journal for Moms of Toddlers (with BONUS video preview)

This devotional includes:

• Three Scripture-based devotions each week centered on spiritual and parenting themes such as resting, feeding, and speaking

• Monthly "Memories and Milestones" sections to document your toddler's growth

• Thoughtful journaling prompts with space to record stories and prayers during this busy and delightful year

After reading Deuteronomy 10:12, Moms are reminded

'The first step in learning to walk in all His ways is acknowledging that we need His grace, His power, and His will for each and every step.'

This set is a perfect gift for showers or that first time you meet the infant child. It's an invitation to remember the one who gave you this baby, and remember all the things that make him or her unique.
