Do you keep a diary or record of your children's milestones?

[bikeblues]

Just that really. I have been pretty poor at keeping a note of significant moments despite my best intentions. I was wondering how other people do it. If there was a good I phone app that would be great but I haven't found one. How do you record all those special moments?

Intended to but sadly not really.....just wish I'd have written down dates when she said certain things....did certain things etc....

I don't. Should I? Oh God, another parenting fail

No. Always felt that no one would be interested in the future in these things.

I have sometimes written things the their health record books but it's not comprehensive and not the same things for each child. Often just if they've done something or said something funny.

Yes. Funny phrases, first sayings, dates for walking, talking etc. Still weighing and measuring height at 8 and 10 years!! Completely sad but absolutely priceless to look back on.

Nope.

Or rather, like most new parents, I frantically scribbled every burp, nappy and feed for about the first 6 days.

Then having a life took over.

so its not just me! right enough I have no idea about when I first smiled, laughed, or spoke. mum was too busy looking after us to bother. I dont feel neglected as a result. im going to give up feeling bad about it.

Major ones like sitting, first teeth and crawling yes, I have an email somewhere with these written down. Otherwise no.

We do have quite a lot of photos and video clips which are dated so hopefully that will help fill in the blanks.
