Apollo’s Baby Book

When I was born, my mother was given a baby book by a community group. She documented some details about my early life and kept the book for years, including photos and measurements.

When I was born, my mother was given a baby book by a community group. She documented some details about my early life and kept the book for years, including photos and measurements.

Her last notes were made in 2002 or 2003 and mentioned my height and the height of a tree given to us when I was born. The tree had been planted in our backyard and grew to 14 feet tall in those 20 years.

After my mother had passed, and when my father moved from my childhood home, I kept the book with me. I’ve scanned the book to keep a digital copy available.
