Boys have won all three categories and five of the six runners-up slots in this year’s Chronicle’s Top Tots contest..

The winner of the under-one category was 11-month-old Jaylen-Kai O’Donnell, whose mum Leigh is justifiably proud.

“He’s my little prince! I was just screaming when I found out he’d won,” she said.

Runners-up in the category were Liberty-Mae Gardiner (six months) and Max Holden (three months).

The winner of the one-to-three category was 21-month-old Ismail Mohammed, whose mum Sofia Azeem, of Littlebank Street, Clarksfield, said: “I am really happy Ismail has won. When I looked at all the other babies I thought they were all so cute so I am made up that he has won.”

Runners-up in the one to threes category were Lewis Ackers (one) and Leighton Crawford (two).

Three-year-old James Josey came out top in the three-five category. Mum Jenny Moore, of Tanners Fold, Fitton Hill, said: “I am over the moon that James has won and really proud of him. I never expected him to come top.”

Runners-up in the three to fives category were Riley Milne (four) and Nicholas Unsworth (four).
