As the year draws to a close, we reflect on what has happened in the last 12 months.
At the start of this year, Chronicle & Echo launched a new monthly feature where we ask new parents for pictures of the new bundle of joy born the month before.
This has made for some truly heart-warming picture galleries of new born babies at the end of each month – and it also means we have a huge round-up of babies born in 2023, some of which are nearly a year old.
Here are the babies born in Northampton this year, submitted to this newspaper.
