Blogging to Replace Baby Books?

Posted on January 1, 2006

A lot of parents have blogs about their new babies that cover day-to-day life with their baby as her or she grows. This has led Blogging Baby to question whether parents are still using those baby books that let parents enter information about life events like baby's first word and baby's first step.

With all due respect to scrapbookers, scrapbooking doesn't count -- in my mind, people who scrapbook are artists, and scrapbooking is an art form. I'm talking about those books that have places for you to fill in "baby's first tooth," or "baby's first words" -- do you parents out there still manage to complete these? Or have you found that blogging and scrapbooking have taken over? What do you do to record memories of your children's lives?

Based on some of the comments Blogging Baby received it sounds like a lot of parents are using both the baby books and a baby blog to record baby milestones. Today's generation of babies will certainly have a lot of information from their days as a tot to review when they are older.
