Anchorage is celebrating the arrival of its newest little explorer! Wilder Gray Schmidt was born on January 28, 2025, to proud parents Leah and Jacob Schmidt. Weighing 7 lbs 11 oz and measuring 20.5 inches, Wilder has already captured the hearts of his family—especially as the first grandbaby on both sides!

His cozy nursery, decorated in calming sage green, is the perfect place for sweet snuggles and new adventures. Wilder is surrounded by love from his Anchorage family, including Cary Willis (Poppy), Paula Grover (Mimi), Lydia Grover-Willis (Aunt), and his furry siblings, Coco and Titan.

Congratulations to the Schmidt family on their newest addition—may Wilder’s journey be as adventurous as his name!
