For Noris Rivera Natal, 33, of Temple it was
indeed a happy new year as she welcomed her
newborn son to the world.
Anthony Cecelio Irizarry-Rivera was born at 2:02
a.m. on New Year’s morning. That made him the
first baby born in Temple in 2008.
At 8 pounds, 12 ounces and 20.5 inches long,
young Anthony came into the world healthy and
happy. Tuesday afternoon, Temple’s Baby New
Year could be found at Scott & White Hospital,
napping in the arms of his mother. She was beaming
with joy and said over and over that she was
“very, very happy.â€
