AFTER more than a year since the first lockdown, we are still living under restrictions.
Luckily, the rule of six now applies and we can meet in each other's gardens.
Hopefully that means York parents are able to introduce their lockdown babies to more friends and family.
It's time to meet the latest arrivals - and if you have had a new baby in March or April, please tell us your story and send in your photo via the Send Now button at the end of the article.
Here are York's newest citizens - welcome to the world!
