Need help from the Moms here

[New England Eeyore]

I'm working on a baby album for a friend and to paraphrase one of my favorite movies "I don't know nuthin about no babies" so I need some help.

I want to do a "Milestones" layout for all the firsts: steps, tooth, etc. Can you tell me what I'm missing, and can you tell me what order I should list them in?

Rolled Over
Sat Up
Crawled
First steps
First word
First tooth
First Haircut

Thanks!

First food, first smile, first laugh and anything esle that stuck me as cute. I even have DD's first raspberry. Also I took a picture of her each month on the date she was born. Very cute idea to do for a friend.

Good luck!

First bath, Cruisn, check out the pics from Buffy's thread too. Some great ideas there...http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1455931

Nice idea!

How about favorite toy or first toy? To be different - first night baby slept the whole night?

Yep, I got lots of ideas from Buffy's thread for pages. I should have been more clear - this is specifically just for a milestones page. I want to have a journaling block with
"First Steps ____________
First Words _____________"
etc in a list format for her to enter the info, and a few photo mats for whatever pictures she might have. What else would you put on that list, and I need to know roughly what order to list them? ie Do babies talk before they walk, etc?
