I've managed to keep up with their growth charts after each visit and the basic 1sts. I haven't had time to put pictures in. I figure that will be my project when they are in their teenage years and don't need me as much. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190617 Wed, 27 May 2015 12:26:39 +0000 Boogs 2190617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gifted one and bought one I liked better for LO1. LO2 has none because I never filled anything out the first time around. I do have a list saved on my computer for important firsts for both of them. So maybe one day I can do something with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190427 Wed, 27 May 2015 10:11:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2190427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope..

I didn't really keep up with it but I read through it a few times over LO's first year and made a mental note to take a few pictures I wouldn't have planned to take. I bought the same book for LO2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190359 Wed, 27 May 2015 09:13:30 +0000 Chillybear 2190359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: we have the same one! very easy to use</p> <p>I also made a photo book of all her monthly pics (with the little sticker) and other great snapshots from that month </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190322 Wed, 27 May 2015 08:31:05 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2190322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gifted one and treied to make a point to sit down for a few minutes every few months and fill it out. I kept it out on a shelf with a pen so I would see it and remember to do it. I used all the photos I printed out for her 1st birthday party decorations as the photos for the book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190316 Wed, 27 May 2015 08:28:21 +0000 Ginabean3 2190316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but what I did was monthly email updates from birth until 2 years with photos. I sent this to our immediate family and myself. I'm thinking one day of printing them all out and making a book for her and giving it to her (going away to college, having a child of her own, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190310 Wed, 27 May 2015 08:22:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2190310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Binth baby book is gorgeous, but expensive at $95. I like the DIY photo books all over Pinterest. You could buy a cheap baby book to jot down all the details and then create a really nice book as a keepsake. </p> [attach=3033/15/np0ftz.225x225.2015-05-27-09-16-17-821385003.jpeg] [attach=3033/15/np0fu0.225x225.images-5.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190301 Wed, 27 May 2015 08:14:18 +0000 travellingbee 2190301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I definitely did. Will do the same for #2 but I'm not particular about the specific book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190297 Wed, 27 May 2015 08:09:01 +0000 mrsjyw 2190297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Carters one that I saw on sale for less than 10$ at Marshall's. I filled it out (pretty basic) but there's a few later months that still need pics.</p> <p>I also kept monthly updates on my blog for memory sake.</p> <p>I need to grab one for DS2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190228 Wed, 27 May 2015 06:51:46 +0000 Cole 2190228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the Sophie the Giraffe one and it's fairly low maintenance. I think I have spent two hours on it (in maybe 3 chunks) and as of 7 months it's up to date except I haven't stuck the photos in. </p> <p>What I am liking better though is writing her emails from time to time that I will put in a photo book. I also have a private Instagram account, I put in a photo a day and if there is anything of note I write it in there. I get a Chatbook sent to me every 60 days and at the end of the year I will publish it using Shutterfly or something so I have a nicer copy too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190203 Wed, 27 May 2015 05:56:11 +0000 miramira 2190203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got one as a gift, but I just never get around to filling it in, pasting in photos where they're meant to be, etc. The questions make it a bit inflexible, too. So, I just bought a blank notebook and I write a few bullet points about how DS is developing, funny things he does etc every few months. It has some little plastic pockets in it too, so I've put in his ultrasound photos, his first photo after being born and his hospital wrist/ankle bands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190188 Wed, 27 May 2015 05:01:51 +0000 Ree723 2190188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did I buy (receive) one for each child? Yes. Did I keep it up to date and fill it out? No. </p> <p>For Lo1, I was good about keeping track of things on my Baby Connect app; for LO2, I never really used the app, hence, I have no idea when she hit half of her milestones! I keep meaning to fill in her baby book and sort of fudge the dates as best I can remember so she won't grow up with the neglected second child complex, but we'll see whether or not I ever get around to it! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190184 Wed, 27 May 2015 04:53:11 +0000 lamariniere 2190184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one for LO1, but didn't keep it up to date.<br /> Instead, I made each of them a 1 year photo album through shutterfly and added text for some of the milestone pics. On the last page I also made a list of milestones and ages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190124 Tue, 26 May 2015 23:22:33 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2190124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have this one for each of my kids - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Baby-Book-Keepsake-Journal/dp/030746542X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1432700517&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=baby+book" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/My-Baby-Book-Keepsake-Journal/dp/030746542X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1432700517&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=baby+book</a> - Love it because it hits all the things I want but is really easy to fill in and pretty low maintenance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-baby-memoriesmilestones-book-for-your-lo#post-2190091 Tue, 26 May 2015 22:24:00 +0000 Astro Bee 2190091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is now over 7 weeks old, and I've been thinking more and more that I need to capture all of these "firsts" with baby, whether it's his first trip to the market or the first time he really smiled, that wasn't obviously gas. My mom has also been encouraging me to buy one, but I'm at a loss as to which one to get. I'm normally not very good at keeping up with these things, and didn't even get one to mark the pregnancy. </p> <p>If you did manage to keep one, which one did you use? </p>
