Thank you, Julie and Candy! I’ve added Morgan and Carter.
I found information on Autumn, but nothing on whether or not she was a “first” baby, so I’ll hold off on adding her until I can find that out.
I haven’t been able to find any news on Elinor, though — Candy, do you remember where you saw this one?
Here are some of the first Canadian babies for 2008, btw:
Danaka Josephine – Vancouver Island, BC
Emilia Grace – Ottawa, Ont.
