Rocky Cocchiarella may share a first name with an iconic movie character, but in the hours after she was crowned Baby New Year for Northwell Health in 2026, the opening scene of a different film was on the mind of a mom basking in the glow of her first child.
"This is the start of a new journey," Rocky’s mom Bailey Perry said, adding that both parents had a scheduled day off from work to open 2026. "This was a grand New Year’s for us."
That sentiment was echoed by Mariela Enriquez Flores and Jose Ramirez, of Riverhead, whose son Liam Ramirez-Henriquez was welcomed in as Baby New Year for Stony Brook University Hospital.
