Tale of a Baby Human opens to a line of photos in the header that range from an ultrasound, to a picture of our little celebrity at five months old. Under this is a green caterpillar that shows his age also. The entries have a pale yellow background and are crisp and clean to read.
But what steals the show on this blog is the multimedia section that rises this Mommy blog to a whole new level. There’s a song composed by the grandfather before the baby was born, and slide shows of ultrasounds, along with ones of the baby on the day of delivery and they continue to the present. The windows media presentations include some very well chosen soundtracks that will have you laughing or if you have children of your own, tearing up. ( Those of you who don’t have children yet may not have this reaction. And you probably think the rest of us dolts. But believe me when you do, you will understand that parents can go a little whacko about their kids. It’s our job. 🙂
The written entries begin when our Mommy finds out she is pregnant and they document the whole process in a personal and humorous way that is fun to follow. I began to see also how this blog must have been a great way for friends and family to keep up to date on the latest news.
There are the usual links to other Mommy blogs and other web sites of interest to the new mother and child. And the author seems to have a fair number of regularly commenting readers. Which is a good sign that you are writing well enough to keep people’s interest.
The obvious target audience is Mommies. But don’t let that stop you from checking out the multimedia section of this blog, even if you are not in your child bearing years just yet. I think you will get a chuckle out of the one entitled “Practice Makes Perfect”. Though I have to admit, I watched every one of them.
Go on, have a little fun. I did!
