A Manchester couple was lucky enough to be the parents of the first baby of 2016 born at Hartford Hospital. And guess what? It’s a girl!

Baby girl Aria May was delivered at Hartford Hospital at 3:22 a.m. In the pictures, she is seen sporting a beanie that reads “2016.”

She was born to Lillian and Iliya Yerukhimovich, of Manchester. Aria May weighs eight pounds and six ounces and is 21 inches long.

Surely, the parents could not have asked for a better way to start the new year.
