Before you know it, the kids are ready for grade school — and you’re just getting around to their baby books.

Instead of fighting over whom Sweet Cheeks smiled at first, try a developmental journal so lovely you’ll be eager to fill it out: local gal Stephanie Mueller’s First 5 Years Baby Book.

Choose from six designs in classic colors. Each one’s bound with a hardback cover, and there’s even a spot for your hospital wristband and a lock from baby’s first haircut.

So it can go on record that it was mommy first.

To place an order, e-mail Stephanie Mueller at studioa48@comcast.net. To see styles, go to thefirst5years.com.
