Chris Coiyer: Email for Newborns | Email is good.

I’ve heard of people picking up a decent @gmail.com email address for their newborn child. […]

Me, I’d get a domain name before anything else.

If you get the email address, another cute idea is to write them emails every once in a while, then when you give them the email address, the inbox will be filled with letters from you over the years.

I love the idea to write them little notes and letters before handing over the email address. How sweet. Oh, and just set up an email address with the domain you got them!
