I only have 2 children and the differences between the way the first was parented in her first 2 years, and the way the second is being brought up are so marked. No. 2 just doesn't get the same undivided attention - BUT - he has an older sibling who teaches him SO much!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432884881847945178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5915315857854919019.post-25386468214826651702011-03-15T21:34:11.699-07:002011-03-15T21:34:11.699-07:00OMG!

My mom totally fell victim to that and she only had 3 children! My older sister has a perfect baby book. My "book" is really a shoebox full of photos. And my younger brother barely has any baby pictures at all-haha.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263044857099967566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5915315857854919019.post-24314341401870058412011-03-15T12:51:55.159-07:002011-03-15T12:51:55.159-07:00If it makes you feel any better, I still need to p...If it makes you feel any better, I still need to print out photos from Madeleine's first year and make an album. It just never happened...the scrapbooking that is. I love the concept, but I think I saw a few too many "too perfect" books and thought it would be impossible. Now, with four kiddos, I actually might do some scrapbooking one of these days.<br /><br />For now, I'm enjoying them and just trying to live in the now which I'm sure we'll document (on paper) one day. Blogging just seems so much easier right now!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166165428750661537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5915315857854919019.post-83937575663925350792011-03-15T09:45:27.918-07:002011-03-15T09:45:27.918-07:00LOVE it... and can totally relate.

How precious! Yo...Wow, this made me laugh out loud. How precious! Your younger children are not just products of their parents, but of their older siblings. What a blessing, to be loved by so many...to have unique relationships, and seen from so many different perspectives. They'll LOVE these albums when they're older! I swore I'd be fair too...Jude has 6 albums just for his first year. Violet has 2. Margot? None. We're too busy loving each other and having busy fun to sit around and document each moment. But someday, we will! Just as you are, finally...be easy on yourself. And breeeeaaathe...I can just imagine your face when you saw the baptism picture! haha!The Knitty Gritty Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890656094078973552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5915315857854919019.post-69460523972423485742011-03-15T07:20:14.215-07:002011-03-15T07:20:14.215-07:00Sweet idea to catch up, letting go with your littl...Sweet idea to catch up, letting go with your little helpers...not so easy!CremeMagnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978803307166800803noreply@blogger.com
