Taira, arguably the first baby born in Northland on New Year's Day, is special as he's the first child and grandchild to his parents and grandparents.
Tipping the scale at 9.5 pounds (4.3kg), he was born just after 2am. He shares his first name with his grandfather but his surname has yet to be decided.
