While Squamish's first baby of the year was Ayan, born to Sodetou Ayanajemi, he wasn't the only New Year's baby with a Squamish connection to make headlines.
Chloe Robertson and Matt Hildreth-Johnston were the celebrated parents of the first Chilliwack baby of the year, Naomi, born at 12:49 a.m. at Chilliwack General Hospital, according to a story in The Chilliwack Progress.
Hildreth-Johnston grew up in Squamish, boasts his proud local grandfather (and a great-grandfather), David Hildreth.
