Cara Parker is 1st baby of 2010
Little Cara Lynn Parker couldn’t keep her eyes open Monday afternoon when her sister, Erin, 16; brother, Jordan, 13; her grandmother, Peggy Graham, and her Aunt Gina and a friend, all came by to say hello.
In fact, Cara’s mom and dad, Christina and Wesley Parker of Lebanon, said Cara had been very low key and low maintenance all of her life — which at that point hadn’t even been 12 hours long.
Cara, born at 5:25 a.m. Monday morning, was Witham’s very first baby of 2010. She weighed 5 pounds, 6 ounces and was 19 inches long.
For more about the first baby of 2010, and the last baby of 2009, see Monday's Lebanon Reporter.
