But on top of that, my husband set up a gmail account for our son and has periodically sent him emails. He writes about the fun/funny things Eli does, how much he loves him, how proud of him he is, etc. One day, when Eli needs an email account, we will give him access to it and it will be full of wonderful memories from dad. <br /><br />For me, since our son is just starting to talk (and say the funniest things) I create a twitter profile for him and will post the little sayings he says throughout the week. I think it will be a fun way to reflect on the every day life of our son as he grows up.Red Head Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820982713385115850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223093513593592524.post-53997169844012678482011-12-13T14:54:56.504-08:002011-12-13T14:54:56.504-08:00My name is Andrea Smith.

I want to be better about writing down the funny things my daughter says. She is hilarious! I discovered that I have a greater capacity to give and to love than I ever would have imagined. I remember the feeling after my first was born. I didn't want to close my eyes because *I* was the one responsible for her. I got over that, thankfully. Mama needs sleep! But I am amazed at how much patience, work, and love is in me when I think I am down to my last straw. It's probably good that I do get sleep. :)James & Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749456330682609832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223093513593592524.post-24452165237073895432011-12-11T11:29:45.615-08:002011-12-11T11:29:45.615-08:00My name is Kristie Thompson-Huffaker and my husban...My name is Kristie Thompson-Huffaker and my husband Kirk and I had our first baby in October. We are just in love with and in awe of little Jackson. We have documented his growth by taking pictures of him each day. Kirk saves them all in a file on his computer and groups them week by week. It has already been so fun to go back and see what he looked like and what he was doing at birth, week 1, week 2, etc. Kirk also posts all of the pictures to our flicker page so that all of our family members can look at them. He was a much awaited baby and his grandparents, great grandparents, and aunts and uncles were all so excited about him and like to keep up with the latest developments. We would love to win the gift certificate so we could put it towards making a Christmas ornament for each of his grandparents, and great grandparents...and one for us too! Jackson has already taught us so many things about ourselves. I have discovered a love and joy that is greater than I ever imagined. I have also developed a great appreciation of the simple things in life such as a soft breath, a smile, a snuggle, a little sneeze, as well as a shower and 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Being a mom is the most important and fulfilling thing I have ever done!Kristiethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013773858163864278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223093513593592524.post-72388060361861182672011-12-10T15:00:38.945-08:002011-12-10T15:00:38.945-08:00My name is Alexei Jacqueline Johnson and I would l...My name is Alexei Jacqueline Johnson and I would love to win this gift certificate! My husband and I try to capture every moment with either pictures or video (and sometimes both simultaneously :). We definitely annoy friends and family with our constant need to document our little Maddox's life. We make photobooks using Shutterfly for all the holidays, and are currently making calendars for Christmas. For his first birthday two weeks ago, my husband made a 7- minute short film documenting his first year. From his first rollover and attempt at solid foods, to his first ma-ma, crawl and steps, this film is a precious reminder of how much our little man has changed our lives for the better. Becoming a mother has changed me in the most profound ways. I have learned patience, forgiveness, and selflessness. Most of all, I have discovered a kind of love that I never knew existed. A love that is so deep and consuming that I would do anything, sacrifice anything to ensure that my son is happy, healthy, and safe.AlexeiJohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680604429516058465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223093513593592524.post-17803553674139302892011-12-07T13:46:08.454-08:002011-12-07T13:46:08.454-08:00oooh, would LOVE this. . .I try to capture my chil...oooh, would LOVE this. . .I try to capture my children in so many ways. As a photographer, I did a "photo a day" for the first year, with both of my girls, and still capture many special moments with photographs. I also buy a dayplanner each year, so that I can write down funny things they say/do and milestones without having to write the date (or remember to write the date). And I BLOGGITY BLOG BLOG almost daily! What else would I do with all those photos? I have to share them somehow :)Timbrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637162293158109066noreply@blogger.com
