Beautiful Baby

Last Monday (19th Feb.) Russ' brother and sister-in-law, Bruce and Katie, had an absolutely beautiful baby boy. It's so exciting to have a new member of their family - the first grandchild for Russ' parents. The beginning of a third generation.

His name is Ernest Sylvan Iggy Redden. The names are unusual and have been well thought-out by his parents. Ernest is a literary tribute to Ernest Hemingway, Sylvan relates to wooded areas/forests, and Iggy for the legendary Iggy Pop.

We drove to Bristol this weekend, where they live, to introduce ourselves to little Ernest. He is absolutely tiny, born at 37 weeks, but a good size at 6lbs 11.5oz. He is perfect - an absolutely beautiful little boy!! It's so lovely to see everyone so happy about him - and his parents so proud!! They've done a brilliant job, he's just gorgeous!! (ohhh, so clucky!!)
