Dorset's latest new arrivals are bringing joy to proud new parents and excited siblings.

For new mum Charlotte Harris, giving birth to her son Woody Zane Brennan on March 3 was "the best way to start 2021" as she has been "blessed with our baby boy!"

Shannon Victoria Horan and Tyler Stainer welcomed their "rainbow girl" Savannah Wendy May Stainer on December 14 2020.

Little Savannah

Mum Shannon said: "Savannah's daddy and I lost a baby in February before I fell pregnant with Savannah in March. She is loved by so many."

Evie Rose Sibley is the first child to Rachel Supple and her partner Thomas.

Evie was born on May 14 at St Mary's Maternity Unit in Poole, weighing 7lb 8oz.

Chloe Griffin gave birth to Noa Blossom Huntley on July 28, and Noa is now the youngest sibling to India Beau and Chester Apollo.

Chloe said: "Noa was delivered via elective c-section at Poole hospital. The staff were amazing from beginning to end, we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our third. Massive respect for the NHS."

Last but not least, say hello to Ellianna Elizabeth Louise Colton who was born on July 11 to Sara Colton, weighing 6lb 30z.

Sara said: "This birth was completely different to my first born. After being told our little girl wouldn't be more than 5lb, all our plans came crashing down and we planned to have a home birth.

"I was told I was going to be induced at 39 weeks, but our little madam took matters into her town hands and contractions started just before we got to hospital.

Baby Ellianna

"I was watching the England match in hospital while waiting to go on to labour ward, and finally our princess was born at 11.40pm just after England lost."
