Baby Updates

For Leah's first year of life I had a baby calendar.  In that calendar I recorded a little something for every day for the first year.  It was such an enjoyable process to track her growth and development over that first year.  From time to time, I find myself looking back and reading through that calendar and I love remembering all those milestones. 

I've decided to do things a bit different this time with Asher.  I am still going to record things but I thought I'd put it here on this blog.  That way when the first year is up it will be easy for me to make a digi-scrapbook recording that first year.  Its a project that I want to do with Leah's first year but I know that it will be time consuming typing up all those days and weeks!  So here's week three & four.  And I'm hoping to also post pictures when I can and remember to take them!!
