Journal for your LO?

Does anyone keep a journal for their LO? Ive been thinking about starting a notebook where I can write a daily entry to document special memories and little milestones. I'm thinking small entries, like a short description of an event that made me smile, maybe a cool new trick that she learned that day. Basically, just a happy memory book. I'm just curious if anyone else does this. Are you good at keeping up with this? I've been horrible at writing in her baby book because it's not part of our normal routine so I just forget about it. I don't want to lose my memory of this great time in our lives.

    Not quite a journal, although I had every intention of doing this - even went out and bought a fancy handwoven diary of some ilk, and of course it never got used. The grandparents live half way across the world though (my parents haven't met her yet) so they demand monthly updates and photos. The monthly updates have turned into a log of sorts over time, and I'm glad I have them because I just can't remember things that happened even last year - when she first rolled over, smiled, etc etc, never mind what those first few weeks were like. Although those are probably best forgotten.

    I have one and have written one entry. I need to get better about writing in it but its something I want to keep up with and give to her maybe when she graduated from HS or something.

    Email works great. I set up an email address for her and send photos with quick descriptions or an "I love you".... And I can also sit down and type out a longer message if I like... Its certainly not daily but its frequent.

    I started to write her letters to put in her baby book but haven't been good about keeping up with them or her baby book. I am disappointed that I haven't done better bc my mom didn't do anything when I was baby and that makes me sad so I wanted to have something to give mirabelle when she's an adult.

    Yes, I have been keeping a journal since the day she was born.  Actually, I kept a lot of the weekly check-ins off here too, which I will add to it.  It is totally cool to look back on everything that has happened over the last two years!

    I hope one day she appreciates it.  I wish my mom would have done it for me.
