ALLOA tot Cruz Connell is the proud winner of this year's Bonnie Babies competition.

He was born to dad Tony and mum Paula nine months ago on Monday, May 3, and has been "a handful" since - much like his older brother Braedynn, 10.

The cheeky chap is getting ready to take his first steps with mum Paula explaining he is always just trying to get on his feet.

Paula wanted to say a big thanks to all friends and family who have been putting the effort in to keep voting for Cruz.

Earning second place in the competition was Rhea Bell while Noah Johnston Middleton finished third after all the votes were counted up.
