(up to the 16th of August)

Amelia is a family name on both Paul and Dimity's side of the family, but was named after Paul's great- grandmother, Amelia Jefferies. The name is Teutonic in origin, and is apparently derived from the word "amal" which means "to work".

Joy comes from Paul's Nana (Joyce) and is also the middle name of his sister and a cousin.

She was born with blond hair, and has been a lovely baby from the start. She hardly ever cries, just goes to sleep at night when "we" (Dimity) put her in her cot (even if she is awake). Consequently we havn't had any sleep troubles! All this can change of course but we are enjoying it all!
