A big 2012 hello to Levi Jace Gove, North Valley Hospital’s first baby born in the new year.
Jayn and Cody Gove, of Evergreen, welcomed Levi at 2:59 p.m. on Jan.1, 2012. The little boy weighs 7 lbs. 11 oz. and is 20 1/2 inches tall. His grandparents include Rick Gove and Darlene Danielson of the Flathead Valley, and Ted and Jacquie Cuffe of Whitefish.
North Valley Hospital celebrated the birth by giving Levi’s parents a basket full of baby items.
Being born in the afternoon on Jan. 1, Levi took his time becoming the first baby of the New Year compared to other recorded births throughout the world. For example, the first 2012 baby in British Columbia – Isabella – came just three minutes after midnight on Jan. 1.
Congratulations to Levi’s parents and grandparents!
