LITTLE Noah Adam Robinson proved he is ‘number one’ after being born at 11.11am on 1-1-11.

His proud parents said they were shocked to see the date and time – especially after 22 hours of labour.

The number 11 already had some significance to dad Craig Robinson who was born on September 11 and mum Lindsey who was born in the 11th month, November.

Mr Robinson, 23, who is from Blackburn and went to Queen's Park Technology College in Shadsworth, said he was overjoyed at the birth of his first-born.

He said: “We were told straight away about the time and we couldn’t believe it.

“Obviously we had not give that sort of thing a thought beforehand but now it gives Noah’s birth that extra bit of significance.

“It is all the ones – a number one baby – which just makes it extra special.”

Noah was born in wife Lindsey's home town at the Hull Women's And Children's Hospital weighing 7lb 15oz.

Mr Robinson, who was brought up in Franklin Road, Witton, said: “We were in Hull for Christmas and New Year.

"She went in to labour on New Year's Eve and her waters broke at 8am.

“At that point I didn't care what time he was born but the doctors said right away.

“It was an extra nice surprise.”
