Welcome Maicon, First Island Baby of 2014

Maicon Nilson Patricio arrived as the New Year's storm developed into a blizzard early Jan. 3.

Update: See a photo of the first baby of the year on Martha's Vineyard at He's No Washashore: First Baby Of 2014 Has Island Roots.

Earlier: We could nickname him "Stormy:" The Vineyard's first baby born in 2014 made his appearance at 1:30 a.m. Friday, just as the first storm of the year was amping up to blizzard proportions.

"Maicon Nilson Patricio weighed in at eight pounds 14 ounces and is 20.5 inches long. His proud parents are Amanda and Maicon Patricio," said Rachel Vanderhoop of Martha's Vineyard Hospital, where Maicon was born.
