Wee Baby Stuff

If you're pregnant or have a freshly-baked person, the next year or so of your life is going to be absolutely filled with 'Firsts', as in:

'The first time I felt the Pookie move', 'The Pookie's first bath ', 'The first time my prodigy Pookie blew a raspberry', 'Pookie's first tooth/word/steps...'

You get the idea.

These are monumental occurrences and should totally be documented.  Why? Well, the memory of first time Ted smiled at me is engraved upon my heart.  The date that it happened? Um. some time in 2008? (Consults book... April 16th!)

With that in mind, here's a few just-the-right-size notebooks to chronicle the important stuff.

Firstly an OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive one:

Smythson's Premier 'Notes' with Slide Closure, $180. It can be customised with up to 15 letters (at $12 a pop!) or one of Smythson's very cute motifs, for an extra $75.

Or you could make like Van Gogh, Hemmingway and Picasso and jot down your tiny artist's musings in a  Moleskin Notebook, $10

Here's one that's pretty specific, and has gorgeous illustrations First 1000 Days Journal, $13 from Rare Device
