Keeping a Baby Journal

by Heather Goldsmith on March 14th, 2006

One way parents can keep track of the many changes their babies go through in the first year or two of life is by keeping a baby journal. This can be as simple as recording daily observations in a notebook or using a beautifully presented purchased journal. The subject of the journal makes keeping this style of journal really easy and focused.

You can either use a letter format by writing to your child as they will be at some point in the future. Or you can simply record the milestones and events for your own enjoyment. Whichever style you go for make sure to include plenty of photographs. Your child will enjoy looking back in this book any time they’re feeling a little bored.

Also, try to be as specific as possible. You may not continue to live in the same home or visit the same places as time passes, so include these relevant details so everyone will be clear where and when the events recorded took place. I hope you enjoy keeping a record of your child’s beginning in life by using a journal.
