i stopped after alex was like a month old..

i was just wondering if i'm a bad mommy.. or if others are guilty as well...

mom21kid2dogs replied: I kept Olivia's up to date. Mine stopped at my first birthday because my brother was born!!!
Lucky for mothers everywhere that the quality of one's childhood is not dependent on a baby book!

C&K*s Mommie replied: well we only had one for Christian, and just got the pics from her third birthday party yesterday. So that will be up to date, when those go in.

Kellie we never purchased one (never got it as a gift, either). Although we did receive a Good Start baby book (not the kind that I will present to her one day), that I kept up with for a long time. Just not recently.

I did buy two journal books, that I plan on making entries into about them growing up, so one day I can give it to them. And (if I can remember) I plan to buy some boxed cards, one card for each yr of their life until they turn 12, that way I can chronicle major events of each yr in their lives. I have yet to do buy them, though.

ediep replied: I keep a scrapbook for Jason and it is our baby book. Its pretty much up to date

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I keep an updated album of Wil, but I started a scrapbook before he was born and have only filled about two pages. It has a few cards in it from my shower and that's about it! I feel bad, but I'm just not the scrapbooking type I guess!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I'm still keeping up with Andrew's, but not very well. There aren't any pictures in there yet and all I've done with it in the last 4 months is write in what he weighs after doctor appointments and the major firsts.

~Kellie~ replied: Luke's goes all the way up until his 4th birthday...I will be adding new pages after the holidays.

Maddie's isn't in her book yet...but I do have all of her pages done!

My3LilMonkeys replied: Brooke's goes until she is about 9 months - but only because DH did it. I am HORRIBLE at that sort of stuff. My pics are all on the computer or thrown in boxes. The pics I had taken of Brooke & Madison 4 months ago are still in the envelope they gave them to me in.

I wish I were better at that sort of thing - I still have my baby book from when I was a kid and it would be nice for my kids to have that too.

rissa replied: guilty as charged!
my daughters is fuller than my sons i used to update once every couple of months last time i did my sons he was like 18 months he just turned 3. LOL when i get off her i have to go update it LOLOL

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I have been kind of okay woth keeping up on their books. I tend to keep all the important stuff together then update every few months. My mom filled mine out when I was pregnant with Katy saying a lot of things like I think and I'm guessing D)

luvbug00 replied: I gave up like 3 weeks in. I just jotted down memerable stuff. I should do that though.

MamaJAM replied: I have baby books for all 5 kids. I admit that there is WAY more info in the first few over what's been put in the last few. Aside from the fact that I had WAY more time to keep up with things when we only had 1 or 2 kids......we use a digital camera 99% of the time now and never get prints made (so there are few printed pictures of the boys). I did keep track of the firsts for everyone....and try to jot things down for the b-days that the books leave room for.

ions_momma replied: I kept Ion's updated until he was about one. I havent done one since his first birthday pictures were added to it.

CantWait replied: Robbie's baby book is very up-to-date, but Anthony was such a handful, and I was so tired at the end of the day with him that I missed a few important events. It's pretty up to date though.
