Brooklyn does it again! Borough home to first New Year’s baby for second year in a row

Yo, baby!

Brooklyn welcomed the city’s first new born of 2016 at Coney Island Hospital.

Young Zayden Noel was born to Coney Islanders Stephanie Diaz and Paul Staley at the stroke of midnight, the hospital reported. The tyke weighed in at 7 pounds 1 ounce, making him the smallest of the Brooklyn New Year’s baby crop. He is Diaz’s second child born at the hospital.

Giovanni Navarro-Caraballo opened his eyes a short nine minutes later at New York Methodist Hospital, tipping the scales at 9 pounds 2 ounces. He was born to East New Yorkers Tricia Navarro-Caraballo and Chris Caraballo.
