Newton-Wellesley Hospital’s Leap Year Babies

There are those that technically only have a birthday once every four years. They’re the people born on Feb. 29.

NWH is giving out a "tree frog" (stuffed animal, not a real one!) with three Gerber daisies in a vase to all of our Leap Year Babies today, according to  spokeswoman Rachel Kagno.

This year there have been four babies born today so far. Here is information on two babies born today at NWH:
