PROUD parents Melissa Harmer and Steven Blanks are celebrating the arrival of their son Ashley.

Little Ashley Steven Ronald Blanks was born on August 2 weighing just 6lb 14oz.

The happy couple, who live in Market Street in Weymouth, said their first son is already developing his own personality.

Mum Melissa said: “He is just perfect and so alert.

“We are a happy little family.

“We have given him the middle names Steven, after his dad, and Ronald after one of my granddads.”

The new mum, aged 19, paid tribute to her other granddad Denny Langford, who recently passed away aged 83.

She added: “We miss my granddad so much and he would be very proud of his new great-grandson who is perfect in every way.”
