The Jaxon tribe was out in force at St John of God, Berwick. The back row features Jaxon being held by parents Timothy and Karina Blackman with grandparents Merv and Bron Gillespie, from Somerville, on the left, Jeffrey Blackman, from Sale on the immediate right and Hallam’s Barbara and Gary Hill on the far right. The front row features great-grandparents Dawn and Johnny Hill, from Launceston, Fran and Charles Stewart from Pakenham and Bridie and Ron Farley from Hallam.JAXON Blackman should never be short of advice. The newborn baby is surrounded by more than 800 years of parental, grandparental and great-grandparental advice.
Born at St John of God Hospital in Berwick on Wednesday 11 May, weighing a hefty 4.8 kgs (10 pound 10 ounces in the old language), Jaxon was almost immediately surrounded by a gaggle of grandparents and great grandparents.
Mum and Dad, otherwise known as Timothy and Karina Blackman from Wonthaggi, happily shared their precious arrival with no less than 11 overjoyed older relatives.
The winner out of all this should be Jaxon, who will have more than enough kisses and cuddles to last him a lifetime.
