Noting of achievement

Way back before I was even preggies a bought this very nice file where you note all the achievements, medical records and everything. So I decided when I found out I am preggies with the twins to put both things in there but later on decide no, each much have their own file and album. Now I can't get the same one and the scrapbooking - well that is another story - only the birth is done. So I am a bit useless when it comes to write the date with the certain milestone - rather take a pic, but seriously I need to make some work on this.

Here is a milestone chart and an update (so I have it on my blog atleast)
