Baby Book

I’m sure someone has already thought of this, and it’s really too late for Daphne anyway, but I need an online baby book service that allows you to enter info, pictures, maybe a calendar, etc. then when you are ready it’s formatted and printed up for you in a nice book. Has anyone seen anything similar?

Last week I updated Daphne’s baby book. First off, I hate writing in her book because I have the worst handwriting. Really, it’s just awful. Sometimes I can’t even read it myself. Second, I have not been disciplined enough to write down specific dates for some of her developmental milestones (first slept through the night, sat unassisted… you know, that kind of stuff). I can’t remember now what question I was filling out in her book but my answer was 3 or 4 months. That’s a little vague. For possible baby #2 I will make sure and create an online calendar or a separate email address and keep all that info together until I’m ready to write in the book. The good news is we have 10 million pictures of her first 9 months. That’s got to count for something, right??

As I was updating Daphne’s book I was comparing it to my baby book. It’s funny how times have changed. My first rice cereal was at 3 weeks. Green beans at 5 weeks (5 weeks old!!!!!!). My first vacation was at 11 months. We drove to Colorado for a two week vacation. The back of the car was converted to a little play pen area with the addition of a crib mattress. No car seats with 5 point harnesses. Plus we all slept in our cribs on our tummies with blankets. How did we survive?!
