The first baby from the Alle-Kiski Valley born in 2021 is a boy from Verona.
Carter Magee made his debut at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital at 12:54 a.m. Friday, weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces and measuring 19.5 inches long.
Baby Carter’s parents are Jennifer Celender and Patrick Magee of Verona.
Mom showed off the new arrival Friday afternoon via a Zoom conference from her hospital room.
Baby Carter, cradled by his mom and wrapped in a navy blanket, was on his best baby behavior during his first interview.
She said little Carter’s arrival on New Year’s wasn’t a complete surprise.
“He was due Jan. 8, and we had a feeling he might come early because I was almost 4 centimeters dilated,” Celender, 31, said.
