If you started a scrapbook/baby book for DC...

do you still keep it updated?  I was so on top of DS's scrapbook until a few months ago and now I'm over it, 

I need to do his first steps, Halloween, Thanksgiving, his B'day, and so many other little important milestones...it's just too much and kind of overwhelming. 

I'm afraid if I do have a baby #2 it won't have a scrapbook or baby book past about 6 months old...

    I try. The hardest thing for me is printing out pictures. Once I have them, I try my best to put them in his book. I have a lot going on- I have a baby book, a first year scrapbook, and another smaller one. I did a lot when I had more free time-over summer break.

    I'm much better at blogging - I blog probably twice a week. Then every few months, I update the book w/ info from my blog.

    I used to keep it up really well, but I don't think I've updated it since before his 1st birthday. I put most of my time into keeping our family blog updated now. It works well, because it keeps family and friends updated with all the milestones, pictures, etc and I can always go back and catch up on the baby book using information from the blog later when life slows down a little bit.

    Just tonight we realized that we haven't updated DS's baby book since probably 15 months, he is almost 2 at the end of January, so many things have happened between then and now, it's so hard to remember.  I'm also trying to do a scrapbook but I am just up to 1 week old so I have a WAYS to go!

    I did a photobook for the 1st year. So much easier than scrapbooking (and I have so much scrapbooking stuff, but no time to do it!).

    I did a book for the 1st 6 months and then another book for the 2nd 6 months b/c it wouldn't all fit in one!

    I am hoping to soon start a second year book so that I can slowly add to it as we take the pics. So far I am behind b/c I didn't even start it yet and we are 3 months into the 2nd year!

    I just did it for the first year and I'm almost done. I did monthly pics "DD is 8 months old!" ect..first holidays, first vacation, first teeth, first solids. I also did my entire pregnancy [that's where my belly pics ended up, as well as info about each Drs appt, my birth story ect.]. I just have to scan her ultrasound pics and put them in. I plan to do the same for #2!

    I knew if I did beyond the first year I wouldn't be able to catch up.

    It's hard to get motivated [lol I don't really like scrapbooking] but a few times I sent her to my moms and just spent like 4 hours doing it. It wasn't anything really fancy so I could get 5-10 pages done each day.

    I decided to do her baby book only and I've been able to keep up with it really well. Scrapbooking would have been too much for me to do!

    I wanted to add that many times I would write on a sticky note a milestone, like a tooth cutting, and place it in her room so that I could go back to it later and fill the book in.

    I have done four scrapbooks for DS already...I am just past his first birthday.  I include each months' milestones in the scrapbooks.
