ALTOONA, PA — Two sisters gave birth an hour apart Monday at UPMC Altoona, about two hours east of Pittsburgh.

Cousins Mason Park and Saylor Lightner both weighed the same as well — 5 pounds, 15 ounces. They were just 1 inch different in length.

Even more remarkably, both infants also share a birthday with their grandfather.
