photo book for me. Ive been diligently working on it the past 10 months. I can't wait to print it out after her first birthday

I have a personal blog just for me and my DH. It's like my online diary.

We have a baby book but I was really bad about keeping it up to date. I thought I would remember things and could fill them in later I have all his discharge papers from every doctors appointment since birth, so I can semi-fill it in with that information at least but I really regret not doing it right. (I also never did his hand prints because the hospital said wait until 6 months. I lived in fear that he would have a reaction to the ink so I never did them and really regret it! I think I will just do them when he turns 2 this month and note in the book. We have his foot prints from birth at least).

I took weekly pictures of him every Sunday (day of week he was born) during the first year that I intend on making into a photo book.

We got semi-pro (re: cheap mall photos where you only get one pose for $10-15. I alternated between two places) every month for the first year. We also had pro pics taken at birth, 4 mo, 7 mo and 1 yr that we have framed a sequence of his first year (same set in each pic so it's a progression of his growth) and we got an amazing book made of pictures from these sessions (these sessions were a shower gift from my mom and a special package our photog does that also included maternity pics). Now, during his second year, we get pics every 6 months.

Baby book - I put pictures and clippings in it too.

@babynumber1: That's what I really want to do - but she's 11 weeks and I haven't started yet! I'm going to start forgetting if I don't get on it! You've re-inspired me

Baby book and monthly blog updates (I write LO a letter each month with all of his milestones and activities, and then publish it on our family blog for our friends and family to read. I plan to turn my letters to him into a book for him some day).
