Just in case you are wondering...

I'm still here.

I'm still IN GOOD ORDER. Barely.

Life has been crazy busy lately.

Baby Books

Having trouble keeping up with baby books? Me too!!!

While I was pregnant with our first child, I started out strong. I wrote down every doctor appointment, every pound I gained, my favorite foods, my favorite smells...everything! Then, my first born arrived and I never touched it again.

I didn't even buy a baby book for our second child.

I wanted to keep record of all of those special moments, memories, and firsts, but I just HAD to find an easier way.

I can't take credit for this first idea. My husband came up with it. Even HE recognized that we had to come up with a way to document our first borns life. He bought a little notebook and put it out on our desk. Here, we would record funny happenings, milestones, thoughts, etc. in a very low key format. I love to go back and read our little notebook of memories.

The month before our second child was born, I started a calendar. The little boxes are just the perfect size to write down little tid-bits of information in. I don't have time to write a book. I don't have time to write down how I felt, what my kids were wearing, or to write a page documenting every single gift that was received. I do have time to write a sentence each day. I happened to have a "Baby's First Year calendar", so I am currently using it...but, when it is full I plan on keeping the tradition with just a regular ole' calendar.

After Wade's first year, I plan on having a Family Calendar to document the every day happenings of our life.
