Hi, Erin! I think a lot of us can relate! :) I have a baby book that I'm desperately trying to keep up with, too, and my son is 2 1/2 and I have another one on the way very soon (still, I want a baby book for her, too- not sure why?! tradition I guess!) Anyway...I also have a blog and I write a LOT there- it's my journal of my son's adventures and now my pregnancy, too. It's so much easier to type everything for me, plus I get to include pics and my family can keep in touch this way, too. Each year after my son's birthday, I have it printed. Here are the links for printing a blog book... first one is the actual company that does them, second link is for WAAAY cuter book covers! (I use the second link!)

BUT, in answer to your "online baby journal" question...I literally just recently saw a review for exactly this sort of thing! And I thought how neat is that!!! I'd sure love to know somebody who did one so I could see it in person. Nevertheless, here's the link for the review and for the actual website.

You could always do some fun, creative things with online photo books, too. I made a whole book for when my son first walked, his first christmas, his first birthday, his whole first year month by month, etc. I use Shutterfly mostly, but also Snapfish and my favorite is Smilebooks (http://www.smilebooks.com/). This last one is COMPLETELY 100% CUSTOMIZABLE! I highly recommend it. It is time consuming, pricey, not nearly so cutesy as Shutterfly and Snapfish, but it's really a LOT of fun.
Anyway, I'm also curious to see what other answers you might get, too, but I hope these ideas get you started!
