Sherrel Hemsley, said: "Our beautiful little Louie William Fearn, as everyone calls him Prince louie 7 months old now and he's kept us smiling and kept the hard days in lock down worth it he's the happiest most cheekiest little boy, his smile just makes everyone's day he his so loving and loved by everyone. It's been hard in this lock down but if we didn't have louie it really would of been harder! The maternity leave is not how you wanted to spend especially when I go back to work in March, locked in the house but then again we will never get this time again with our babies so we should be greatful that we've had extra time with them, I'm going to miss him so much when I go back! I'm so glad louie don't know the world's abit crazy right now, we wouldn't change our little boy for the world but we most certainly would change the world for our boy." Photo: Sherrel Hemsley
