I thoroughly recommend this. I have been doing this with my kid since birth as well. I tried building an app first, but decided that the maintenance costs of email (close to zero), and the easy access to multiple people (only my spouse and I for now), made email the simplest solution. My sending frequency has reduced a lot now, but it used to be 3-5 times a week in the first few years. Once in a while, I'll open the account and read the old emails and they are a beautiful time capsule.
