Instead of baby books, a friend’s father made life albums and presented them to the child on their graduation from high school. It was a gift they all looked forward to, and you have the advantage of many years to complete it!

Rebecca- ITA! However, my family seems to be one of the weird exceptions to the rule. My brother and I each have about the same amount of baby pictures, and we each have a pretty-well completed baby book.

All of that said, reading the comment about: “…on the drawbacks of five kids”, makes me think of the Jolie-Pitts. I wonder if the twins will have a lot less baby pictures than Maddox (in their private family photo albums, I mean. I’m not referring to or counting paparazzi shots or magazine photo shoots!)?

chris should just go out in public with the baby and then send the paparazzi’s celebrity-babies.com link to his mom. as a celebrity, it doesn’t seem so hard to get a quick photo!

Tanya, do you have kids? It doesn’t sound like they’re saying Grandma can’t be a part of Maeve’s life, people have lives and sometimes can’t go to visit their grandkids. My parents have seen my 8 month old a grand total of 2 times, and my mother-in-law has only seen her once (the week she was born.) There’s nothing fishy going on, the more kids you have the less time you have for snapping pictures because you’re busy telling the older ones they can or can’t do something. My 3 year old tries to bogart the shots (get in front of the baby), or completely acts up if she’s not getting her picture taken, so it’s a real challenge to get pictures of my 8 month old alone. I know I’m not the first person to have problems like this, other parents have the same problem with their children as well.

I’m the youngest of 4, and I can count the pictures of me as a baby on one hand. But with my kids I’m gonna make sure theres at least photos documenting special events. So that if I have more than one kid, when they are grown they each have a good amount of baby pictures.

I think the saddest thing is that baby havent meet her grandma yet! She`s six months old! Grandparents have a right to be involved in their grandchildrens life from the very begining. And that there`s almost no photos of this babygirl, so they cant even give grandma a recent photo of her.. it all sounds weird to me.

Same here…I’m the oldest and there’s tons of photos of me from day one up until my sister came. She has barely any

I think it’s that way with every family. The excitement and newness of having a new baby…you just want to document every thing. When you have the second you’ve already done it…u know what to expect and such. Plus, I think it has alot to do with not having time…with one kid it’s easy but 2 is different.

Hmm, weird to me. I wonder why she hasn’t met grandma yet? I am a camera freak, so I know there will be no shortage of baby pics…right now, i just photograph my cat:)

I think that’s pretty sad. In this day and age with digital cameras everywhere… well, I think every sibling deserves a well documented childhood.

I’m the youngest of 9, so yeah, no pictures lol.
