But First...
It's snowing here!
Winter's been pretty disappointing here in the nation's capital. Granted, we're only good for a really substantial snowfall every few years, but we usually get at least one storm of some accumulation. This year was pretty weak. About ten days ago we got hit with an icestorm which is more scary than pretty. But today? A fore casted "wintry mix" turned into a few inches (and growing!) of white fluffy snow!
Why is that exciting? Because I want to go sledding -- and next winter, I'll have a child to use as an excuse to go sledding and not look creepy or out of place.
I know that we measure milestones by capturing things like "baby's first tooth," and "baby's first haircut," but the things that I'm looking most forward too are slightly different. In no particular order:

- Baby's first snowstorm/sled ride
- Baby's first baseball game
- Baby's first poop (I'll celebrate the first one, you better believe)
- Baby's first curse word (it's always so cute when they have no idea what they mean)
- Baby's first taste of foot (there ain't much cuter than a baby discovering its own feet)
- Baby's first spit-up on one of my single guy-friends (just for the fun of it)

How much can I bet on the "first curse word" happening DURING the "first baseball game"?
Good point. Average "first words" for a child come around 8-9 months, so that'd be right around May, 2008. Granted, my baby's daddy didn't speak for about a full year - so it could be right around NFL opening day, 2008. Given that daddy's favorite teams are the Phils and the Eagles, the line is "pick 'em"
