i have one and have managed to keep putting dates in so far lol

I keep notes of firsties on windows notepad and when I once will have time for it, I will get a book (possibly a plain sketch book) and will do it up myself with notes, photographs, cord stump, fingernail, curl of first hair cut etc ... (I know the cord stump is a little bit minging - but interesting and I am sure she can impress her friends later on with it )

but atm, I am still on my thank-you-cards for the presents we received from abroad

We have one, but its more of a scrapbook with pages dedicated to certain things, like on one we have his first smile then the day he started teething etc etc. And we have put in the hair from his first haircut in a little plastic sandwich bag and put it in along with a picture of before and after,just for the memories really. We also have his cord in there from when it fell off

I really want to get one...I'm a big ''memory freak'' and I'm quite organized so that is so for me.I heared that you use them since birth until 5 years old?Are there some more expanding?lol....

I'd make my own if I didn't know how busy I was going to be.

I always have a dairy in my bag, so with jack i just put stuff in there and then when i had time transfer to the baby book. x

I used PowerPoint to make a pregnancy book with lots of info about how things went, classes I took, books I read, wieght gain, doctors visits, sonograms, etc. I put that in little plastic pockets in a duo-tang. I made it to look a bit like a scrapbook with pictures printed and stuff.

As for after Simon's birth, I keep writing the "firsts" and great stuff on the calendar we keep on the fridge. Then, once a month, I sit down and go through my baby book to recopy it all. I find it easy to keep doing this way.

I have seen some books that go on 'til 12 years old or so as they use each new school year as a base but expand to family as well. I think I may get that too!

P.S. When I do stuff on computer, I save it on a cd/dvd presuming Simon will be able to keep it for a long time this way!

I've bought one, we'll see how I do at keeping up with it

Yep I bought one.
It's a bit early to say If I will keep it up though.

I found this really cute set of cards for baby's first. That way you just fill them out as you go, and don't have empty spot is a book that didn't get filled out. I will see if I can find the company.
