HELLO world! 
Meet our latest dozen bundles of joy born in Hampshire during lockdown and in the weeks after coronavirus restrictions began to be eased.
Today we are giving a warm welcome to all these adorable new arrivals as they make an entrance into the world.
Launched a month ago with a 12 page special featuring more than 100 babies born in lockdown, this is the fifth edition of our regular new arrivals slot in the Daily Echo and online. And boy, you have been busy!
During lockdown, hundreds of parents across our communities have been welcoming their babies into the world at Princess Anne Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital, the New Forest Birth Centre, at other hospitals and at home.
And these bundles of joy are bringing a ray of hope to families during the pandemic.
Proud new parents were unable to show off their newborn babies during lockdown and are now just beginning to introduce them to grandparents, aunties, uncles, cousins, their wider families and friends - so we are sharing them with you.
We will be featuring your newborn babies every Thursday and saying a huge congratulations from us all at the Daily Echo.
To tell us all about your little one and the day they were born, fill out our short form and send in a picture at dailyecho.co.uk/new-arrivals
