CUTIE PARKER

Natasha Burt, 33, from Sheffield, never expected her picture-perfect toddler to become famous…

Skipping down the stairs, I waved the stick in Daniel’s face.

‘I didn’t see that coming!’ he shrieked.

A positive pregnancy test!

We couldn’t believe it.

It was June 2017 and me and

Daniel, then 20, had been together for 18 months.

We hadn’t been trying for a baby, but this was such welcome news.

In such disbelief, I did a further three tests just to be sure!

Each one positive.

And when Parker finally arrived in April 2018, he was perfect.

Blond hair, piercing blue eyes, and such a cheeky grin.

I’d always been into photography, and beautiful Parker now gave me the perfect excuse to keep on snapping.

Sending the pictures to my friends and family, I was keen to show off my little boy.

Whether it was a photo of us all as a family out at the supermarket or cracking a smile around the house, I made the most of each and every photo opportunity.

Soon, I’d amassed a whole album on my phone.

‘You are just adorable,’ I cooed.

Each picture captured a memory of my little boy that I’d cherish.

I wouldn’t miss a moment of him growing up.

In December 2018, when Parker was eight months old, I had an idea.

Running out of memory space on Parker’s Instagram profile, it was quick and easy.

Parker’s first followers were friends and family.
