Are you keeping a baby book? You know, a book you fill with photos and momentos, and where you mark down things like your baby's monthly weight, or the first time he rolls over, sits up, sleeps through the night, etc. I received a few of them as gifts and I intended to keep one—really I did.
I saved some things from my baby shower and the hospital (like her "baby girl" tag), and I just know they're around here somewhere. I filled in some stuff here and there, but it's really spotty. I forgot
things I was sure I'd remember (and was going to mark down just as soon as I had a
chance) like the exact day she first smiled or the one when her first
tooth popped through. These are important things. How could I forget
them? I guess it's because she's changing so much, so fast. Still, I feel really guilty. I think I'll go try to work on her book right now. Or maybe I'll do it later.
Are you keeping a baby book? Is it all pretty and perfect? Or are you behind like me?

I have been trying to keep mine up but do have pictures that need to be added. My boys are 4 and 2 and I'll admit that my 4 yo has a much more filled book than the baby. I will try to get caught up soon
I am so behind. My son's book is pretty mcuh up to date but my daughter's book is barely filled out. I figured I can always do it when I have time but having 2 kids doesn't leave you much time to do anything.
I am with you MeNMy2Kids, I am so behind. I always say I will do it when I have some free time. I really need to sit down though and fill the rest of them out.
I am a bit behind...but I am determined to not forget about doing them! My son's has a lot more than my daughters!
Mine is up to date, except for photos. I dont plan on putting any in since I also scrapbook & am scrapbooking her every move. Pretty much she will have 2 Memory Books-The store bought one with just the facts & then the scrapbook with tons of pics & facts.
The only thing I havent filled out are a few of the 'whats going on in the world" type things.
Once the book was completed I tucked it away into a storage bin of baby memories and is waiting for our daughter to have a family of her own some day. Yes, i did keep a baby memory book and yes, it is completed. Don't hate me because I am so organized. Now to finish storing pictures away of last years family caming vacation. So Martha today.
I am pretty caught up on filling it out, justneed to add the photos I've taken!
i am so far behind. my daughter's is caught up to 18 months (she's 4). my sons have birth details, that's it. i'm gonna have to set aside a day to do it all.
my oldest one isnt because i lost track of everything but my babys is.
