It’s a boy!

Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone and his wife welcomed a newborn baby boy into the world at 2:01 p.m. today.

The birth was three weeks earlier than expected and was the third child for the Curtatone’s. The boy was 5 lbs. 13 oz and 19 inches long at birth.

This is the second child born to Curtatone since he became mayor. The last time a sitting mayor welcomed a child into the world was Mayor George Bradley, whose son, Robert, is now the acting chief of police.
