My son had his own first child this morning, little Nellie weighed in at 8lbs 5oz and looks a right little boster!

Her dad weighed 10lbs and grew to over 6ft 4 inches tall so I expect she might well be a 6 footer as an adult.

I hope she has an easier life than her dad, it's been extremely challenging for him and very difficult for us as his parents for long stretches but he has proved himself to be good with his partners two kids over the last couple of years.

She's actually been named after my mum's mum and she was a sweet and gentle soul and I hope the name brings her luck.
