Recording your baby’s first smile, laugh, wave and teeth is something that I think many of us forget to do.  

We think we will remember, how could we ever forget……but 5 years later if someone asked me how old my daughter was when she said her first word I doubt if I could answer accurately. Some moments are etched forever in my memory, like her first steps and her first smile and I know roughly when she finally used the potty and no longer needed nappies, the rest is a memory but one I probably couldn’t answer to a specific time or date. 

So if someone buys you one of those lovely books to write down all your baby’s precious moments, take time to fill in the blanks. 

A few years later you will be thankful you did. It will be a great book for your child to keep and read about themselves. Pop in plenty of photos along will all the time and dates so that when your little one has grown up you can look back and remember with clarity and not the foggy haze that those of us have, who never took the time to fill in the blanks!
