after about 12 weeks or so, it starts sounding a bit silly to give a person’s age in weeks. still, this is how i keep track. every week i make a new folder with the date and baby’s age. every day i take pictures and put them in the folder. if you ask me how old she is today, i’ll tell you “four-and-a-half months”, but in my pictures, and in my mind, i can tell you exactly how “ElizaWeek20″ is different than all the weeks that passed before.
