I enjoying making a list for some tv shows, detailing the births, marriages, deaths etc... I thought it might be fun to do for the BSC, especially considering the books only take place within two years. I haven't read the books for awhile so I'm just going to write what I remember. Here's what I know:
Births:
Lucy Newton
Shannon the puppy
Laura Perkins
Andrea Prezzizo
Claudia's niece Lynn
Gracie Schafer
Marriages:
Watson Brewer and Elizabeth Thomas
Richard Spier and Sharon Schafer
Jack Schafer and Carol
Franklin DeWitt and Mrs. Barrett
Deaths:
Louie the dog
Mimi
Booboo the cat
Amelia
Crystal Light the goldfish
Sunny Winslow's mother
Divorces:
Ed and Maureen McGill
Miscarriages:
Peaches
Adoptions:
Emily Michelle by Watson and Elizabeth Brewer
I know I'm missing some, especially because I didn't read many of the later books.

How many new kids moved to town?
Stacey, Dawn, Jessi, Logan, Abby (geez, have a monopoly on the new kids, BSC?), Ashley the artist girl, the Hobarts, Pamela Harding, Addie the wheelchair girl (both in Karen Brewer's class),...more? New kids were an over used plot point.

The new kids thing was stupid. The BSC/ a BSC member needs a new friend! I know, let someone move in to town! Because they couldn't possibly become friends with someone they already know but just haven't gotten to know very well yet!

Jeremy and Cary both moved to town. The Delaneys and the Addisons moved away. And if you make a list of people who got engaged but didn't get married yet, Edward McGill and Samantha Young are possibly the only ones on it. I can't think of any other engagements.

I suppose you could count Abby's bat mitzvah as a milestone, right? (I haven't read the book yet, but I hear it's in Abby's Thirteen or something like that? Oh, and Anna must have one as well.)

Terry Hoyt (David Hawthorne) moves to town, but then again he does promptly leave again in the same book, so I don't know if that counts.

How about first boyfriends for the girls? There was Pete Black for Stacey (or was Howie first???), Trevor Sandbourne for Claudia, that Parker guy for Dawn, even though they only knew each other for about three days, Logan for Mary Anne (or would it be Alex? Did they ever really "date"?), Alan Grey for Kristy, Ben Hobart for Mallory, and Quint for Jessi. Some of these are pretty debatable, because even though they would be considered boyfriends in normal 13 year old lives, we're talking about the BSC here.  |

Stacey and Claudia's feud over Jeremy in FF. And stop being friends completely.  |

I'm trying to think of people that had actual birthdays in the books. Everyone got a year older after the 10th book but not much was written. The only ones I can remember are Jamie Newton, Mary Anne, Dawn's mom, Karen Brewer (they also had a half birthday book like 80 books later because they obviously ran out of plots by that point), and the Arnold twins.

It's for the best that they never had birthdays, except that once. The girls would be turning 13 and then magically reverting back to 12 every twelvish books or so. The timeline of staying 13 forever is screwy, but to go back and do that would have really killed it. |

Kristy has a birthday in the movie, but I'm not sure if that's official BSC canon.

^I don't think it is... I mean in the movie Jessi and Mal are already in the club and Kristy is still only 12. So TECHNICALLY, the movie SHOULD be after 6th/8th grade, which would mean Mal and Jessi would likely have already turned 12 and be the same age as Kristy for a few months. hah. Then again, you're 13 in 8th grade, not 12 so... arrrgh makes no sense whatsoever. d**n BSC!

^ The film in general doesn't make much canon sense. Kristy has already moved over to Watson's house and is having a birthday? That doesn't really fit the timeline at all.

Good point, never thought of that! The movie is so frustrating.
