As far as we know, the first baby born to Lyme or Old Lyme parents this year was Niall William Hallahan.

Weighing in at 8lb 1 oz. and 20 inches long, Niall was born in Middlesex Hospital at 9:15 a.m. on New Year’s Day and is the sixth child of Nancy and Stephen Hallahan of Lyme.

Niall is not only the sixth child of the Hallahans, but he is also the sixth son!

Congratulations, Nancy and Steve and the whole Hallahan family – we all needed some good news and you certainly gave it to us!
