CUMBERLAND — Moments after he was born, young Dylan David Burgess already had one up on his older sister.

His parents, Misty Blaylock and David Burgess, decided to bestow upon the newborn a middle name, a step which they skipped with 5-year-old Paige Burgess. Baby Dylan was the first of three children born on New Year’s Day at Western Maryland Regional Medical Center in Cumberland. He weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces, and measured 18 inches in length.

The Ellerslie family’s newest edition was delivered at 0100 hours — that’s 1 a.m. for civilians — on 1.01.10 — Jan. 1, 2010, by Dr. Ziad Haidar.

“That’s the only thing she’s really jealous of,” Blaylock said of her first child, who now is an older sister.

Other than that, Blaylock said, Paige has yet to demonstrate any hints of jealousy for her new sibling.

“She’s psyched,” Blaylock said Saturday afternoon in a hospital room filled with 13 colored balloons and two gift baskets. “She loves it. She hasn’t shown any jealous tendency yet. I’m sure it’s coming.”

Blaylock, 28, is a communications assistant with Hamilton Relay Inc. in Frostburg. Burgess, 27, is employed by Emerick’s Meat Market in Hyndman, Pa.

Blaylock, originally from Cleveland, Ohio, said she returned to Allegany County with Ellerslie native Burgess about four years ago. There was plenty of family to come back to, including Burgess’s mother, Linda Burgess, and four aunts, all in the Ellerslie area — Joanna DuVall and husband Greg, Faye Emerick and husband Carl, Cathy Clayton and husband Stan, and Debbie Miller.

Many of them have visited baby Dylan in the hospital, Blaylock said, and admired his full head of dark hair.

“My daughter had no hair,” Blaylock said, recalling Paige’s birthday. “This one’s got a ton of hair.”

“He sleeps a lot,” she said. “He’s slept pretty much all day. He wants to eat a lot and sleep a lot.”

“I’m just overwhelmed with joy right now,” Blaylock said. “I can’t be any more grateful right now that both my kids have come out beautiful and healthy.”
