Christmas has come early for some of the country's well-known families, with the arrival of three bouncing baby boys.

"Born in the pool! Vanessa and Tracker are going great guns," posted the happy father.

Lush said his boy was born on Thursday at Waitakere Hospital andwas now at home. Little Tracker weighed 3.5kg at birth and was an impressive 55cm long.
