Just before nine this evening the population of Rockford got just a little bigger. Good friends of mine, Jeremy Behling and Britney Konkol, welcomed their first son into the world. Being just outside the delivery room gave me goosebumps…to hear that first cry.
So, here’s to the most happy birthday Jaeden!

Meteorologist Greg Bobos comes to Rockford via WYIN in Merrillville, Indiana. He is a graduate of Indiana University and had internships at WLS-TV in Chicago and WRTV in Indianapolis. He is originally from Dyer, Indiana.
Greg didn't always know weather was the job for him. "I grew up wanting to be an astronaut because I was fascinated by the unknown. As I got older my interests turned toward the weather for the same reason, the thrill of the unknown and ever changing."
Greg is a movie buff as well as a television junkie. He's also good on the drums and has been in various bands during his high school and college careers.

Meteorologist Joe Astolfi was born and raised in Sandusky, Ohio, home to the world famous Cedar Point Amusement Park.
As a child, Joe would always flip through the television stations to catch all the different weather forecasts; his favorite meteorologist is Dick Goddard, Cleveland’s Tom Skilling. Joe moved to Illinois to attend Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology and Geographic Information Systems certificate from NIU in 2009. Ever since, he has lived in the Rockford area and is thrilled to be able to forecast the weather for northern Illinois.
In his free time, Joe enjoys outdoor photography, walking along one of the Rockford region's many nature trails, anything geography or weather related, and of course visiting friends and family. His favorite places to relax and take in the natural scenery include Sinnissippi Park and Blackhawk Springs Forest Preserve. He enjoys visiting museums. Chicago’s Field Museum and Rockford’s Burpee Museum of Natural History are his favorites.
Awww, what a beautiful baby. Best wishes to jeremy and britney.
Yup, congratss! Not sure if that is the youngest person ever to appear on the Weather Blog though … how old was Candace King’s baby when it made its first appearance here?
Awee, that is such a cute baby!
Congrats and hoping the baby sleeps though the night very soon!
This picture was taken an hour after his birth…which was an hour and a half before newstime.
I dunno, Madyson King was pretty little in this one:
