Mum and dad chose the name Freddie after Ethan’s sister suggested it. After that it just clicked and they fell in love with the name.

Freddie is such a happy baby, full of fun and showing his cheeky personality already. He is learning and developing super fast, but he’s not a fan of sleeping or napping.

His proud grandparents are Jim and Nicola McCann and beloved nana Elizabeth Wilson who passed away shortly after his birth.

Mum and dad would love to thank the amazing midwifery team at the Larbert hospital for helping bring Freddie safely into the world, as well as their families who have been amazing support throughout. They expressed particular thanks to nana Nicola and papa Jim, saying "Freddie loves you both so much and loves to come for sleepovers”.
