The world population has reached a record 7 billion as of Monday, October 31st. Festivities recognizing the births of the symbolic 7-billionth babies born on the 31st are being held worldwide. This is ironic because Halloween is typically viewed as the season of the dead. Celebrations will begin in the Philippines today where one of the many newly born babies was greeted by loving mother Camille and a swarm of photographers.
Baby Danica, whose name means morning star, weighed in at 5.5 lbs and was one month premature. Although she was born at 11:58 PM on Sunday, doctors declared that her birthday be celebrated on Monday, making her one of the lucky and recognizable 7-billionth babies. Happy Birthday baby Danica!
