The Beginning

Hayden Maxwell Gilbert was born at 12.02 or 12.08am (take your pick!) on Thursday 26th January, 2006, making him the first baby born in Geelong for Australia Day 2006. Hayden was a p3 pin-up boy at the grand old age of 1 day old! At birth Hayden weighed a whopping 10lb 12oz or 4.875kg.

'Hayden' itself came out of the blue shortly after his arrival and is simply a name that his mum and dad liked. 'Maxwell' is taken from his grandfather (mum's side), and his great grandfather (dad's side). 'Gilbert' is carried on from dad's paternal side of the family.

With the saying keep your friends close and your enemies closer in mind, Hayden's two uncles (the people most likely to lead him astray in the future) were declared godfathers and now bear some of the responsibility for Hayden's wellbeing!
