First Babies of the New Year

Here's a cute article on all the past "First New Years Babies" in the Washington Post. It's adorable and packed with all kinds of trivial information. It's always fun for me to read about life in DC way back when because both of my grandparents grew up in DC. My grandfather grew up in northeast, his parents the owners of a cluster of rowhouses, my grandmother in northwest. Both were actually born in their houses, not at the hospital. Neither was a first baby, but my mother may have been a last! Her birthday was late one Dec. 31st. I won't tell you which one or she'd never forgive me!
