The 30-year-old said: "It’s five months since Belle came into our lives and we now really feel like a complete family.

"We’re more confident with her now as we know her much better and have learnt to understand her.

"I think the feeling is mutual too, as she laughs and smiles at our voices and kicks her legs when Daddy walks in the door after work!"

Katie added: "Without question, the most rewarding thing is now knowing she recognises me too and that I can comfort her when she needs it. Feeling her respond to me is so special.

"It’s a relief to be able to distinguish a hungry cry from a tired cry and a ‘pick me up’ gurgle from a ‘my nappy smells’ gurgle. It would seem I’m officially fluent in baby speak!"

So what is next for the mummy and daughter?

Katie explained: “We haven’t started weaning her yet; we’ll wait until she’s six months old, I think. She is getting curious about food, though, and keeps eyeing ours up at dinner time! I wonder what she’ll like and dislike when it comes to food?”

“We’re also about to have our first family holiday abroad. I’m so excited. We’ve done loads of shopping so we have all eventualities covered, but we’ll be travelling anything but light.”
