Take lots of photos and lots of videos. They're so great to look back on.

My kid isn't even a year old yet and I still love taking breaks from parenting responsibilities by looking through old (sometimes even from the same day) photos and videos. Seeing the same thing live versus in digital media hits so different. When the baby is there, you're responsible for them and that takes up all your mental energy. Photos and videos? They let you actually appreciate all the good parts.
