Four pounds, 13 ounces, and 18 inches at birth, she will always be the couple's first child and a Louisiana Bicentennial Baby.

The Louisiana Hospital Association in partnership with the Louisiana Bicentennial Commission recognized each baby born in a Louisiana hospital on April 30 as a Bicentennial Baby. Each received the Bronze Louisiana Bicentennial Medal and Bicentennial Baby Certificate.

With this recognition, Baby A'Llicia starts life as a unique part of Louisiana history. Besides parents and hospital staff, grandparents Felicia Waters and Edna and Darryl Brown were on hand to welcome the Bicentennial Baby.
