Count 'em. One. Two. Three.
Three first arrivals, so far, in the counties declared to make up South Mississippi -- Jackson, Harrison, Hancock, Pearl River, Stone, George.
Three It'sYourBirthdayBabies! for those new human beings who made it into a whole new world on 01.01.10.

Over in Jackson County, Nathaniel Scott fulfilled the New Year birthday hopefuls for personnel at Singing River Hospital in Pascagoula, according to Harlan Kirgan with The Mississippi Press.
Mother JiCrystal Scott of Gautier welcomed her first child, who arrived seven weeks early, and weighed five pounds 11 ounces, at 18.5 inches long.
With that tally, officially, all of 2009 New Year arrivals turned 1 year old on Friday, Jan. 1, 2010. Those who made their arrival in 2008 have now, officially, reached the Terrible Twos, though for their parents that state could have already arrived. And so on for New Year arrivals for 2007, 2006, etc.
I have a friend whose birthday is Jan. 01. I always remember her birthday is coming up, but never remember to call on New Year's Day. Figure out that one, if you can. So, I've made a resolution to, from now on, always call her New Year's Eve.
