CINCINNATI — Feb. 22, 2022, would be a pretty cool birthday. But what if your children were born at 2:22 in the afternoon? That’s exactly what happened for Alex and Kyle Thomas as they welcomed their son, Simon, into the world at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati .

Little Simon is only about a day old, but already getting all the attention.

“Enjoy all the little snuggles while you can!” Alex Thomas, Simon’s mom, said.

His parents are over the moon with their bundle of joy.

“We might be biased, but we think he’s pretty cute,” Alex said.

“We had a running joke with my family saying he would be born at 2:22. People when we texted them they were like ha ha very funny. We were like no, it actually happened," Alex Thomas, Simon's mom, said. 

It's a story the parents look forward to sharing with Simon someday. 

“We knew we wanted to start our family and grow and we’re glad that he’s doing well and safe and healthy. Added bonus he’s got a cool birthday and a cool story to tell now," father Kyle Thomas said.
