Re: Baby Book poll

  • Haha. Welp, I picked no. I had one for ds1 that never got filled out. I don't miss mine that I never had so I don't think my kids will miss theirs either.
  • Loading the player...
  • We have one and had every intention on filling it out.  I think I did a few pages, including her footprints, and then life got in the way.  And now it is locked up in storage until late Sept/early Oct when our house is done so I have little faith that it will ever get done.

  • SS -- I'm a lazy snowflake.  I have a pretty box where I store things for sentimental value for her.  I still haven't put together our wedding album from forever ago, so I knew better than to claim I'd put together a scrapbook or baby book for her later.  I write her letters in a book, too, when I think of something I want to tell her for later, a song she liked, stuff we did together, movies I think she should see when she's an adult, silly little things.

  • By yes I mean, all of his milestones and happenings are typed in a list format in a word doc and will be put into a book at some point. I kept all his hospital things and newspapers from the day he was born. That's it so far though.

  • SS BC I have his filled out all up to date(I can't believe that) and shutterfly picture books for him too.
  • I have one for each kid. I keep a running note on my phone for milestones as they happen, then I go back to the book later and put them in.

    I actually worked on putting photos in my 4 yr old's book while on mat leave for LO.

  • I am doing a baby book for the 1st year. My MIL has been doing scrapbooks for all of her grandsons (she only has grandsons so far), so once I print off some pictures for her she will start a scrapbook for L.

  • I'm doing one, not always on time though. I'm pretty good at remembering what to write down - after I look at the pics on my phone that is.

    I'm also trying the "Moms One Line a Day" memory book that I got for Mother's Day. So far so good but man it's tough already...;)

  • I was on top of things and "pre scrapbooked" a whole book beforehand. So now I just have to fill it in. I added a couple more pages. One for teeth and when they come in. And one for first foods. I like doing it. I usually have post it notes around the house and then when I have time I put it into the book. I already love looking back at it. But I was a crazy scrapbooker turned into shutterfly album maker before baby so it makes sense that I'm into it I guess!
  • Yes, and it's up to date. I fill it out and add pics once a month. Takes me 10 min. I really enjoy doing it and looking back to the beginning.
  • I said SS... only beacuse I do plan n doing one, but I still have yet to get DS1's completed in my Shutterfly account. He is now 2 yo. We'll see when it actually happens!

  • I put SS. I do a shutterfly book for each kid of the first 3 months and then a yearly book for each birthday.

  • I started a baby book but it was nms so I "scrapped" it (haha) and started a scrapbook so I could include everything I want and leave out the stuff that doesn't apply. Its not the cutest scrapbook and doesn't have lots of those fun decorations, mostly just pictures, dates, and words, but it's the important stuff.
  • I just started lo's baby book. Got 3 pages done. Hey it's a start lol! I would like to make a shutterfly book of her first year as well. We did a regular photo book of maternity pics, all the hospital pics, first Christmas etc so far.
