It's not weird Jim it's something that can be put away until such time when the child can appreciate it.
I myself have made two pens for my daughters, one is 5 and the other one is 3. I plan to give them on the day they start secondary school, just do it.

Maybe better for the mother, Jim, so she could keep a journal (you could also supply,) about the growth of the child over the years. You know perhaps birthdays, first day at school and so on.

No, I have made pens as christening gifts so I don't see a problem, in fact it's a great idea.

Now that's a good idea. I never thought about a baby journal.
