LO is 16 months so I don't have to write in it very often anymore. Just when we go to the doctor and for birthdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-book-up-to-date#post-442482 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:01:08 +0000 red_seattle 442482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But that's on purpose-- we chose not to do a baby book because I knew for sure that we wouldn't stay on top of it, and if we did, we definitely wouldn't do it for baby #2. And our mantra has been "if we know we're not going to do it for #2, we're not going to do it for #1." </p> <p>I write posts on our blog every once in a while so that I have that to look back on, but those are just as much about keeping distant family up to date with pictures and what he's up to as it is about doing it for memory-keeping. I've kept a few things that I'll eventually put in a nice box (his hospital hats and bracelets, prayer cards from his baptism, etc.)-- but as for a book, nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-book-up-to-date#post-441757 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:49:38 +0000 smocks 441757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Thanks for those links!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-book-up-to-date#post-441742 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:41:44 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 441742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smocks: We got this one in "Meadowlark" </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Carters-Loose-Keepsake-Memory-Laguna/dp/B0034G60MO/ref=sr_1_15_m?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1355175347&#038;sr=8-15&#038;keywords=carters+baby+book" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Carters-Loose-Keepsake-Memory-Laguna/dp/B0034G60MO/ref=sr_1_15_m?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1355175347&#038;sr=8-15&#038;keywords=carters+baby+book</a></p> <p>I actually wasn't thrilled with the cover of the book, but I liked the layout of the pages. </p> <p>There was another book that I one of the bloggers blogged about AFTER I got this one and I liked that even better.
