Barry County has New Years Babies:

Wayne Thomas Laws, the son of Kody and Angelena Laws of Delton was the first baby boy, born at 1:10 pm New Years day at Spectrum Pennock Hospital in Hastings.

But Wayne was not the first new baby of the year at Spectrum Pennock Hospital on News Day... that honor goes to Emma Kathleen Baker born at 1:00-pm to her parents Meghan and Jake Baker of Hastings.

Congratulations to both families.
