This is Leap Year baby girl Lennox Mae born Feb. 29, at St. Joseph’s Hospital-North in Lutz, with her parents Julien and Mercedez. Known as “Leap Day, ” Feb. 29 is considered the rarest birthday a person can have. Given that Feb. 29 occurs only once every 1,461 days, the likelihood of a baby born on Leap Day is quite low — roughly 1 in 1,461. So, will Leap Day and Year babies, or “leaplings,” like Lennox Mae celebrate their birthdays Feb. 28 or March 1? St. Joseph’s Hospital-North says celebrate both days! Why not? Who wouldn’t want two celebrations of their birthdays? Twice as much joy! Congratulations to this family and all families with a Leap Year baby in 2024! The next Leap Day and Year happens in 2028.
