Notable Birthdays for September 3 throughout history include:

• Teacher Prudence Crandall, controversial for her efforts to educate black girls, in 1803
• Architect Louis Sullivan, called the father of the skyscraper, in 1856
• Automobile designer Ferdinand Porsche in 1875
• Actor Alan Ladd in 1913
• Actress/singer Kitty Carlisle in 1910 (age 96)
• Cartoonist Mort Walker ("Beetle Bailey") in 1923 (age 83)
• Actresses Anne Jackson in 1926 (age 80), Eileen Brennan in 1935 (age 71), Pauline Collins in 1940 (age 66) and Valerie Perrine in 1943 (age 63)
• Actor Charlie Sheen in 1965 (age 41)

For our newborn Americans, those born today share a date of notable distinction with the U.S. Flag. In 1777, the U.S. flag was flown in battle for the first time, during a Revolutionary War skirmish at Cooch's Bridge, Delaware. It's hard to think that the United States wasn't always here, but next year on September 3, 2007 will be the 230th birthday of flying the U.S. flag.

History is great fun and very fascinating especially if you are creating a baby book you can decorate it with historical facts and bits and bytes of information. While it's not necessarily about your baby, it does address a great way to fill your baby book with anecdotal notes, images and other where were they and where are they now types of fun.

For me, this is a good choice. - do you have similar types of information in your baby's baby book?
