Just hours old and already she's a celebrity. Judith Pfaff is Reno's first baby of the New Year.

She is all that she was billed. Adorable, of course. Quiet, calm and apparently confident, even blase about her celebrity status.

All of eight pounds, five ounces, she entered the world two and a half hours after the calendar turned and ahead of at least three other in contention for the honor at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center.

Hours later, fed and content, she mostly sleeps through another visit from the press.

This was actually her due date, but it seemed she might arrive at least a day early.

"Pretty much everyone told me she'd be early. She measured early on a lot of her visits," says mom, Kat Pfaff..

Kat and Joel Pfaff rushed here from their home in south Reno yesterday only to be told Judith wasn't quite ready. So, it was back home to wait a few hours.

"I was kind of hoping she'd be early because I hit my deductible last year," says Kat, but she came two hours into the New Year and now she's the first baby."

Even then she kept everyone guessing.

"Once it got past 12, 12:15 I thought 'Well now she's not even going to be the first baby because someone's got to have a baby before..."

But she was, a title she'll now carry along with 'little sister,'

Waiting at home, her two siblings, Ariel and Zoe, aged 5 and 3, are excited about the new arrival

"They decided they were going to have a little brother and then when we found out it was going to be another little sister, they were good with it."

So's Mom.

" I was kind of relieved it was going to be another little girl. I've got a lot of girl stuff. I know how to deal with my girls. Even our cat's a girl," she adds with a laugh. So Joel's going to be a little outnumbered."

Joel--by the way--is fine with that.

Our thanks to him, Kat and Judith for sharing a few moments on what has been a busy day for them.

Congratulations, and, once again, welcome to the world, Judith.
