Congratulations to Dr. Bill and Christine Petit on the weekend arrival of their new baby boy.
The baby, the couple’s first, was not supposed to arrive until Dec. 3 but opted for an early appearance.
Good wishes welcoming the new baby began on Facebook at 6:24 a.m. Saturday.
In August 2012 , Petit married the former Christine Paluf, a professional photographer who volunteered her time at many of the Petit Family Foundation fundraising events.
The foundation was established in memory of Petit’s late wife and two daughters, who were killed in a home invasion in their Cheshire residence in 2007. Dr. Petit was the sole survivor.
