The little things from your baby's first year you may forget
The big milestones get photographed. It's the small, ordinary moments — the exact sound of a 3am cry, the way they said your name wrong — that quietly slip away first.

The moments that don't make it to the album
Every parent photographs the first steps, the first birthday, the first day of school. But somewhere between month two and month nine, a hundred smaller things happen — and most of them are never written down.
The way she said "wawa" for water for exactly three weeks before switching to "water." The specific weight of him asleep on your chest at 2am. The face she made the first time she tasted lemon.
These are the moments Baby Kangoo was built for.
A few that parents tell us they wish they'd captured:
- The sound of their laugh before it became a "real" laugh
- Which stuffed animal was actually the favorite, and for how long
- The nonsense words that meant something specific, just for a while
- What the nursery smelled like
"I remember the milestones. I don't remember the Tuesday. I wish I did."
If you only write down one thing this week, make it something small. Start your baby's journal — you can always add the big moments later; it's the little ones that need saving first.
