A HAPPY and healthy baby son has arrived to join a Chickerell family.

Henry James Rodd was born on January 31 at Dorset County Hospital weighing 7lbs 10oz and is the perfect baby brother for Grace Rodd, 17 months, and proud parents Jenny and Jamie Rodd, from School Hill.

Mrs Rodd, 26, said that Henry and Grace had been getting on well.

She said: “She keeps giving him kisses and she has started to run up to people and point to him when people come into the house.”

She added: “It’s a nice age gap between them.

“We’re hoping they will be good friends.”

The family would like to thank their families and all the staff at Dorset County Hospital.

Mrs Rodd said: “They were absolutely fantastic.”
