I didn't have a baby book, so I put his photos in shutterfly and then wrote<br /> X month milestones:<br /> Characteristics:<br /> Nicknames:<br /> and that kind of thing. Everything was in phrases --predicate with no subject so I avoided the issue all together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-book-didwill-you-do-it-in-second-or-third-person#post-1016794 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:39:52 +0000 LazyLightning 1016794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @Mrs. Pen: haha, only reason I haven't ended up with both is that I'm writing them all in email drafts -- usually on my phone during a feeding or something -- going to make a mypublisher book next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-book-didwill-you-do-it-in-second-or-third-person#post-1016784 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:37:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1016784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm messed up. I kind of did it in both lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-book-didwill-you-do-it-in-second-or-third-person#post-1016777 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:35:17 +0000 heffalump 1016777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wrote, "LO did this" but sometimes I would switch it up. I was always in a hurry writing it so really whatever came out, came out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-book-didwill-you-do-it-in-second-or-third-person#post-1016767 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:32:46 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1016767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did second person because I just used the monthly updates from my blog...I do agree with your reasoning though, maybe third person would have been better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-book-didwill-you-do-it-in-second-or-third-person#post-1016758 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:30:33 +0000 LazyLightning 1016758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, will you (or did you) write your child's baby book like "LO did this..."<br /> or, like "You did this..." ?</p> <p>My thinking is I should do it third person, since it isn't necessarily a book FOR her, is it? It's a book about her... so it should say "She did this, she did that." Do you agree, disagree, or suggest something else entirely? </p>
