We asked parents to share pictures of their newest additions to the family to bring a smile to our readers' faces.
You may recognise some of these cute faces from our first ever gallery of lockdown babies from May last year - they grow up so fast!
We have a lot to thank NHS staff for, especially as they - throughout the entirety of the coronavirus pandemic - continued to welcome our little bundles of joy into the world every day in the maternity wards.
Here are just some of the adorable lockdown babies who are turning one very soon - the beacons of light that emerged during a dark time last year.
