We're trying to do the bi-lingual thing here, with a 13 month old child. My wife speaks Finnish exclusively, I speak English.
As we're in Finland I assume that he'll have a Finnish accent when he gets a bit more proficient, but so far things seem to be working out. I expect he'll learn English pretty well, partly via me, but also via random conversations, TV, etc.
One of the pleasant surprises were that his first two words were "Daddy" and "Äiti", respectively.
