Baby milestones, kept in a private family journal
Your family’s private corner of the internet.
Write down your baby’s milestones as they happen, with a photo and a line about it, and share them only with the people who love your baby most: first smile, first steps, first word, first day of daycare.
How we keep it private
- An unguessable link. Your site’s address is random, never your names.
- Never on Google. No search engine lists it, ever.
- Optional password. Free, on every plan.
- Invited guests only, if you want. Guests get in with the email you invited them with or their personal link.
- Revoke a link anytime. Make a new link and the old one stops working.
- No photo downloads unless you allow them.
- No photo location data. We remove it from every photo.
- Children’s pages are never public.
- No ads.
- We never sell your data.

What families record
- The firsts. First smile, first laugh, first tooth, first steps, first word, first haircut.
- The big days. First day of daycare, first day of school, a first bike ride without training wheels.
- Anything else. Type your own: the first snow, meeting a cousin, the first word in French.
Each milestone gets a date, a photo if you want and a note, on a timeline for each child.
A record, not a checklist
Every child grows at their own pace, so this is a place to remember, not to measure. We don’t publish month-by-month milestone norms or compare children. If you’re wondering about development, talk to your doctor or nurse, or see Health Canada and Caring for Kids from the Canadian Paediatric Society.
Two designs, one click to switch
Everything on your family site
- A page for each child. Name, birthday and their colour; add a brother or sister any time.
- Milestones with your photos. First smile, first steps, first word, first day of school, or anything you want to remember, with a date and a line about it.
- A growth tree. Add a height or weight and a new branch grows. It shows only your own measurements: no percentiles, no comparisons.
- Birthday pages. Each child gets one every year, open a week before, where grandparents and aunties leave a wish.
- Family notes. A guestbook only invited family can read and sign.
- Year in review. Download each child’s year as a printable PDF.
- English and French, and two designs you can switch between any time.

Questions
Is this a milestone tracker by month?
It records the milestones your baby reaches, with dates and photos. It doesn’t tell you what to expect each month: for that, ask your doctor or see Health Canada and Caring for Kids.
Who sees our baby’s milestones?
Only the family you invite. The site is never on Google, photos have their location data removed, and nobody can download them unless you allow it.
Can we add more children later?
Yes. Each child has their own timeline, growth tree and birthday pages on the same family site.
What does it cost?
Building it is free. Sharing it with your family is part of the Family plan, CA$6.99 a month plus GST/HST. Cancel any time.
