Next Generation Baby-Booking
A few months after Emerson was born, I started a gmail account for her.
Every now and then, I send her an email that she can read in the future.
I let her know what she's been up to as far as milestones, favorite books and toys, favorite foods, and noteworthy things that she does.
I didn't do this to replace a baby book - but since I never think to update the book, this is going to be a decent substitute. My goal, though, is to do both.
And since I'm still morbid and I also know it's a reality that there are things that I remember that her father does not notice or make a point to remember, this will give her a good sense of who I am and what she was like as a baby in case something happens and she doesn't get to know me or how much I really love her.

Someday you will both treasure that, I'm sure.
