Alexander James Clatterbuck the first baby of 2011 at Fauquier Hospital

Alexander James Clatterbuck may have wondered what all the fuss was about when he arrived at Fauquier Hospital at 1:18 on January 1. He was the first baby to be born at Fauquier Hospital in 2011, so there was a little extra excitement at his birth.

To mark the occasion, Fauquier Hospital presented parents Verlisa Kurtenback and Carl Clatterbuck of Bealeton with a $50 savings bond for Alexander. Clatterbuck said the celebration is expected to continue for a while. “It’s our first baby. We’re very excited, and our families can’t wait for us to bring him home.”
