In the Picture
This bathing beauty is Max, our brand new Calendar Cutie. His mum Georgina says: ‘Here’s my funny little boy Max! Teething like a good’un now. He turned 6 months this week… seriously I can’t believe where the time goes!’
We say: Hold on to those memories, mama, the first year whizzes by!
Send in your favourite photos of your babes (ages 5 and under) for a chance to be our next Calendar Cutie and be entered into a prize draw! Email photos and a short description to editor@babesabouttown.com
