No April Fool

Kate, Simon and Sam were joined by a new baby boy on April 1st.

It took them a couple of days, but they settled on Alexander as his name – in full, Alexander Emil Kilpatrick Hunt.

For those of you interested in the full details, he weighed 3.88kg and was 54cm long when he was born. They are all enjoying his company, and after getting over the initial trauma of birth, he seems to be having a nice time learning about the world. He eats a lot and is showing signs of being quite a good sleeper (fingers crossed).

Sam is overcoming the initial disappointment that Alexander can't yet play at trains with him, and is beginning to enjoy the delights of having a little baby brother.
