This is a little journal that I've been keeping for Monty (Kirk/Matt's nickname for Monroe, and it's somehow sticking). I just found this small booklet at Hobby Lobby and just try to find one thing a day that I think Monroe would like to read about when he gets older. My favorites are:
• "Blood Mustache" (the time he scratched my chest
while he was nursing and gave himself a blood mustache)• 1/4/11- 1st movie Monroe attended in theatres (Next 3 Days)• 1/16/11- Saw the sun for the first time... eyes hurt & lot of sneezes• 1/31/11- "He's a baby, not a scientist." (Kirk's comment in the
middle of the night when I was frustrated.)• 2/7/11- Burped so hard/loud you made yourself cry• 2/23/11- First non-family babysitter, Alexis the Doula, came over. Reminded her that your poo is black so that she wasn't alarmed (due to colic medicine).
Awesome List!
