Kelly and Steven Cawley saw in the New Year with a new baby boy.

Little Charlie Jack Cawley was the only baby born at the Jane Crookall maternity unit on New Year’s Day.

Mum Kelly went into labour at about 2am and got to Noble’s about 3am. Charlie was born at 4.54am, weighing in at a healthy 8lbs 13oz.

Mum and baby are both doing fine and after spending the night in hospital, went home to Tommy Clucas Avenue in Peel the following afternoon.

His arrival was keenly awaited by elder brother Austin, who will be three at the end of this month.

Steven, 42, a senior fund manager, said: ’He’s bob on and behaving himself - sleeping well but like all babies doing his sleeping during the day.’
