How do you document your child's (children's) life?[Poll]

I actually said "SS".  I'm not super rigid about it, but I keep a calendar where I try to jot down milestones or fun things.  I also take pics alot and do have a blog.  The blog and the calendar are my combined effort to keep track of what he does.

But it's all kind of "if I think about it".

I went with option 2.  we take pictures a lot, occasionally video (we need to remember to do more video!) and I am trying to keep up with a blog that will be printed as his baby book...I update it every week or two.

I picked take pics when I remember.  I don't take tons of pictures or anything but I take a fair amount, I making an effort to keep them in some sort of album even if slightly out of order sometimes.  I took a fair amount of video in his first year and have been editing to make a nice DVD.  I think for year 2 and future kids I'll try to add some pics to the video also.

I'm awful at writing things down, exact day of walking, talking, teeth etc.

I take a ton of pictures, but they're on the computer. I need to do something with them.  I also keep a baby book up to date and more importantly, I journal about once a month.  In each entry, I will write down funny things that she said, a phase that she is going through, what she's liking, disliking, any holiday info, what she got as gifts, things she's saying, etc.

I was psycho with pictures at first, but have toned that down quite a bit. It's hard to get him to sit still these days And I'm trying to get better about the video camera because he says so many cute things. I need to get him on camera "reading" me a story. It's hilarious!

The baby book...terrible.

And my blog...about once a month. I used to do it once a week!

None of these applied to me...we do have a baby book but I've never written in it (sad).  However, I have a blog and I consider that the main way I have documented his life.  As he's gotten older I've written in it less & less (last time was in September!).  I intend to have it printed one day.  And I do intend to write in his baby book at some point!

Oh, also, during his 1st year I had a draft email going where I kept track of milestones since they were happening faster than I could keep up with the blog.

Lots & lots of pics and video too (some of which make it to the blog)...
