Anyone make/use a baby book?

Serene123 · Apr 8th, 2008, 17:43 PM

I was thinking of buying one. I really want to keep a record of all those "firsts." Do you forget to mark the days though?

We got a one ourselves then one as a gift, we had good intentions but I find you're busy with your baby most of the time and writing exact dates kind of goes out the window... but you may be really good with it!

Def get one, they are fun...

Yes we have one for our 3 year old boy, and it is only about half full, I mostly didn't do so well with pasting pics into it, but managed to fill most of the dates in... I will be getting another one this time around, they are fun, and also nice to look back on.

We have one & like others you seem to forget to fill it in on that spot then distracted by something then your wondering 'when' it was. I think a scrap book is better moments on camera being more special

Or photo album that allows you to write at the side of each photo which I have now as well as a book of 'my first bath' etc its pink and girl from Tesco matching a keepsake box got last year though!

By the way, if you have Facebook I have a thing called Babybook (search for it) and I tend to write some dates in there, plus you can hug and kiss them lol and leave them little messages. I am hoping Facebook will still be around when Bethanie is older so that she can read the things I have written.
I usually write dates down in a little notepad or something and get back to them at a later date or you forget and think crap when was it??

I bought one and then were given 2 more as gifts. I had every intention of filling it out and I did for the first month when all she did is sleep, now I just cant find enough hours in a day.

I think I'll try to keep a pad with me when I remember. Doubt I'll always remember though. Would be nice to write some stuff down atleast

My mom made one for Colton. She does really really nice ones as she is so creative. But the ones she does are really expensive. I know she had like $150.00 spent on it, but that was a while back and she didn't have half of it done.. I imagine she has $200-$300 in it now. She has bought most of the stuff, but still doens't have it all done.
