Congratulations! 66 year old Josephine Siao Fong Fong became a grandmother. Yesterday she shared the news that her elder daughter Chang Hoi Kam and her American husband had a child in May and brought a new member to the family. Holding her grandchild for the first time she was both excited and nervous, she even praised that her grandson was a trendy baby.

One of the "film fan seven princesses" Siao Fong Fong and her husband Clarence Chang Ching Fu had two daughters, elder daughter Chang Hoi Kam and younger daughter Chang Nga Kam. Hoi Kam in March last year wed her Irish American husband, Siao Fong Fong at the time even gave her son in law the Chinese name Tang Wai Lim. A year later, Siao Fong Fong announced good news again yesterday as Hoi Kam and her husband had a baby boy in May. The baby weighed 8 pound 3 ounces when he was born. He is named Ian Denyer with a Chinese name Chang Yat Chi.

Ian is not just a heavyweight, he also looks exactly like her father. He is so cute that no wonder new grandmother Siao Fong Fong found it hard to part with him. When she held her grandson she looked pleased and tender. Siao Fong Fong's baby techniques have not become rusty over the years. Her grandson lay in her arms and slept very soundly. However, when Chang Ching Po held his grandson he was so happy that he was a little lost. His grandson could not help but wave his limbs around. Siao Fong Fong imitated her grandson Ian and said, "The first time Grandma Fong held me I was sweating like crazy and my hair was all wet; when Grandpa Fu held me his arms and legs were shaking, which made me shake as well. Papa and Mama were rolling on the floor laughing."

Siao Fong Fong described becoming a grandmother as exciting, nervous and heart warming. she said, "Ian is a trendy baby. Because his papa is a foreigner, as soon as he was born his hair already had brown highlights. When he closed his eyes he looked like a foreigner, when he opened his eyes he looked Chinese. He also had a lot of expressions."

When asked when her son in law's Chinese name was Tang Wai Lim but Ian's name was Chang Chi Yat? Siao Fong Fong explained, "My son in law is great. When he applied for a Hong Kong identification card, he changed his Chinese name from Tang Wai Lim to Chang Wai Lim. Thus Ian's last name is also Chang. Chang Ching Fu is very happy that his grandson has the same last name as he does."
