This is the best summary I could come up with:


“It’s been a whirlwind, and it’s all just sinking in,” Glass said to the Gray News conglomerate as word of his and Archer’s shared leap birthday spread quickly among corners of the internet dedicated to documenting uplifting human interest stories.

Some people flood their social media and personal conversations with frog-related banter on leap days.

In Glass’s case, Gray News noted that Archer arrived during his father’s seventh birthday celebration.

UnityPoint Health, which owns Iowa Methodist, also photographed Archer wearing a green, volunteer-knitted cap styled to resemble a cartoon frog as well as a white onesie with the words “I’m leaping into life.”

UnityPoint Health also said that Glass was an employee of the network, which operates hospitals in Illinois and Wisconsin, too.

The first comment left under a UnityPoint Health Instagram post about Glass and Archer summed up the general collective reaction to the birth date connecting the newborn and his father.
