I've decided to modify this list for two reasons: 1) Many people seemed to think that this was a clue that we were having a boy. Not true. We don't know yet. 2) When I began to create a list for girls, I noticed it was very similar. Rather than be redundant, I'll just modify this to pertain to either.

You weren't too far off until probably 5 years old. How big is he going to be to be able to bowl a perfect game? B/c I think you need more than an 8lb ball to even throw a strike! Speaking of bowling, we should all go bowling sometime!
ReplyDeleteBut, my 2 year old can throw a baseball..... well, not well, but he can. He can even wind up! And hold a mitt right too. The ball never gets in the mitt, but he has the idea (he goes to PLENTY of softball games!!).
My faves are Ages 16 and 21!! Except you forgot that if it is a girl she shall have an arranged marriage with Eli. ;)
ReplyDeleteLisa - you have a 2-year-old?? ;)
ReplyDeleteNice list! I like the idea of a 7-year-old blogger with a million hits!
You do realize that being one quarter asian still qualifies your little one as a minority. Hello scholarships!
