One of Taylors Lakes newest residents has the bragging rights to the rarest of possible birthdays.
Newborn Parker Jack was born at 8.52am on Thursday, February 29, one of three new bubs born on the leap year day at Sunshine Hospital.
Parker was born via Caesarean section, so there was no big surprise, but mother Jacqui Muscat said that won’t stop the jokes coming in.
“My nephew’s friend’s grandfather is the only person we know born on February 29, they had been joking lately that he was coming up on his 18th birthday,” she said.
“Don’t quote me, but I think that makes him 72.”
Jacqui, now a mother of three boys, said this time around it was hard to find the perfect name.
“It was nothing significant really, it was just a name we really liked, after searching through lots of name books we finally decided on Parker,” she said.
She said in the non-leap years, Parker will have to wait for his presents until March 1.
He has two older brothers, three and five, who are eager to meet the newest member of the family.
