UNCLEHOOD

At 12.54am on Saturday 06 January, Amelia Grace was born to Ben and Carole Cook, which makes me an uncle. An UNCLE. I feel old. But what a corker.

"What names have you got in mind?" I asked, keeping quiet those that I particularly liked in the hope that I might one day get to use them for my own offspring (can you imagine?). The one I really liked was Amelie, but kept my mouth shut in case it was stolen off me and would you believe it, it got stolen off me anyway! Not that I mind, mind, but it's strange that what was in my mind, was also in Ben's mind and Carole's mind, or am I out of my mind? Mind you...

"This is your uncle Jon" Ben said as I was first introduced to my little niece, "he's exactly the same as daddy, but slightly taller, thinner and with more hair". And then I held this lovely little bundle of fun for five minutes before she started crying her eyes out. Amusingly, she is kept contented by Ben lifting her from waist-height to above head-height time after time after time, the only thing being that at 6lb 2oz, Ben can only manage twenty reps before his shoulders protest and when he stops, she cries!

Well done guys, she's a good'un! I'M AN UNCLE...
