My third daughter will be one year old next month. Gasp! Besides the fact that I can’t believe another year has gone by, I haven’t even started her baby book yet. I was so good about completing all the entries for my firstborn. Surprise. Surprise. However, my second daughter’s baby book is only halfway completed. Uh, oh. I can hear it now. “You love her more than me!” At this rate, I shouldn’t even bother buying a baby book for our fourth child. That child will really have a complex.
Then it occurred to me. My blog is better than a baby book! Instead of lines to add how much they weighed and when, they can read stories about their childhood. Instead of one page devoted to photos, they have dozens of photos to look at. Instead of just tracking their milestones, I’m keeping track of their everyday triumphs (and tribulations!)
So while I still plan on completing starting Turbo Tot’s baby book, I feel a little better knowing that moments of her childhood have been immortalized on the internet.

I am with you on this! My first child is only 3 months old, but with the ease of the internet, I've managed to log so much more on my blog than in his cute little baby book. Yay for blogspot!

That’s exactly one of the big reasons why I started my blog - it’s so much easier to hop online and write each day than to remember to haul out the baby book… I do have entries in all 3 girls’ books, but I’m so glad that I’ll always have my blog posts to remember the important moments too.
I wasn’t that great with the baby books - ugh, and now - those special moments you thought you would always remember? I am starting to forget. My kids are 21 and 23, and I often think how much I would have loved to have a blog when they were young. Oh the memories I would have recorded!
AND more people will see how beautiful ALL my girls are.
Love DAD
I can’t believe I missed this post. What about the fourth child? Did I miss news??
That’s what happens when baby #3 comes several years later. Technology leaps forward like we never could have imagined!
