IT'S a case of third time lucky for Wiltshire Times Baby of the Year winner Livvy Harvey.

Parents Claire and Stuart Harvey, from Ashleigh Grove, Trowbridge, have entered her in each category of the competition over the past three years as Livvy, who was two in June, has got older.

But this time she breezed through the 18-36 months group and won the judges' votes to secure the overall title.

Proud mother Claire, 27, said: "I think she's beautiful, and it's nice to think that others do to."

Winner of the 0-9 months category was Joshua Bush, whose mum Eleanor, 27, of Maddocks Road, Staverton Marina, was once a Butlin's baby of the year herself. And coming top in the 10-18 months category was Lewis Lovell.

Mum Hayley Watts, 24, of Burnet Close, Melksham, said: "They had loads to choose from, so I'm very proud."

Runners-up were in the 0-9 months category, Jack Falconer; 10-18 months, Charlie Smith, and in the 18-36 months group Nathan Carter.

And in third place were Bethany Gover in the youngest age group; Abigail Rendell in the 10-18 months category, and from the older babies Lilly Paige-Sharpe.

Phone and text votes shortlisted the top 36 babies.

A panel of judges, made up of Wiltshire Times editor Andy Sambidge, The Shires Shopping Centre manager Steve Murray and Cherry Robinson, owner of the Sweet Shop, chose the winners, who were revealed during a ceremony at Boswells on Tuesday.
