1. There is a lot of "firsts" when you have a baby. Get a calendar and put it up somewhere where it's easy to see and write on. Then when ever your baby does something, jot it down on the calendar. Then once a month or so you can take it from the calender and put it in the baby book. I did this for both my boys and it was nice because I didn;t have to try to remember when something actually happened. First photograph, footprints, birth announcement, news of the day(gas price!), pictures and info of baptism, height and weight charts, immunizations, medical records, dental info, details of first Christmas, birthday, other holidays, knows mother and father, discovers own hands and feet, reaches toward people or things, picks up objects, raises head, laughs, sleeps through the night, rolls over, crawls, sits up alone, aware of strangers, pulls self up, stands alone, climbs stairs, takes first steps, walks alone, holds bottle, holds spoon and attempts to feed self.
2. I have so many ideas - I spent hours! making my daughter's baby book... I would do a Mommy, Daddy & Baby page where you use baby pictures of the three of you. My daughters shows how she had my eyes and her daddy's nose. Her baby book also has a lot of letters - not only from me - but from her Daddy, her aunts & uncles and all her grandparents. They're tucked into little envelopes for her to read later and are placed next to pictures of that person and her. At my baby shower, my friend had each of the guest write out a recipe card with advice for her future - all of these are scattered around her book. Last there is a whole page on how we chose her name, what it means and what we hope it will mean to her.
